Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, has compared his prowess in speaking English to that of the Minority Leader in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
According to him, Dr. Ato Forson is no better than him when it comes to the English language since they both make errors.
He further teased the Minority Leader, suggesting that Dr. Forson does not directly generate money by speaking English.
In an interview on Abusua FM, Chairman Wontumi said, “As for Ato Forson, he speaks no better English than my broken English. We all make the same grammatical mistakes. It’s just that when I speak my English, it brings money.”
Chairman Wontumi has on several occasions made some basic errors when speaking English. Some Ghanaians believe the local dialect, Twi, suits Wontumi best.
