Deputy Sanitation Minister and Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah lost his cool in a social media banter with GhOne news anchor and screen goddess, Serwaa Amihere.
The MP, in an uncharitable tweet, took a dig at the journalist, telling her in plain language to ‘stop being stupid’ and adhere to the ethics of the journalism profession.

USerwaa had called out the MP on Twitter on Saturday, September 26, 2020, for putting a signpost on a wooden bridge the latter had constructed on a small gutter within his constituency.
Serwaa wrote: “I hope this is not real. How can this be a project to highlight by an MP? How?”
But an unhappy Patrick Boamah in a reply asked the journalist to check her facts before making comments on social media.
The MP tweeted: @Serwaa_Amihere, I wish you CHECK your FACTS well and stop being stupid for advertising your ignorance on your media Outlet. You always lack professionalism and media ethics,” the MP’s reply read.
Then in a sharp rebuttal, Serwaa Amihere who wasn’t happy with the insults retweeted: “Your tweet disproves nothing and there is no other fact to check as the picture is quite clear. Also, if this is truly the official twitter handle for the MP’s campaign, then your language is appalling and doesn’t reflect the conduct of a man whose name is preceded by Honourable.”
