Accra: Ghanaian comedian DKB has taken a swipe at New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicator Dennis Miracles Aboagye following the latter's criticism of reported transport fare hikes. The exchange comes after the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) announced an upward adjustment in transport fares, citing rising fuel prices across the country.
According to Ghana Web, it began when Dennis Aboagye posted on X that the new transport fares were already taking effect, describing the development as a direct blow to the cost of living. Aboagye expressed concern over the financial strain on citizens, highlighting recent increases in electricity and water tariffs.
Reacting to the post, DKB referenced a recent allegation against Dennis Aboagye concerning an alleged attempt to remove audit findings related to a GHS102.2 million bank account. The comedian suggested that Aboagye should bring forth the alleged hidden funds to subsidize fuel costs.
The comedian accompanied his post with a screenshot of a GhanaWeb headline that read: 'Dennis Aboagye sought removal of audit findings on GHS102.2 million bank account - IMCC.' This exchange has stirred discussions on social media, with users debating both the transport fare increases and the allegations involving the former government official.
