Her tweet read, “With almost one year to the 2020 elections, we are yet to hear of one major policy proposal from the NDC. Why this long delay.”

Mr Agyenim-Boateng wrote, “As a TV presenter, you’ve got to have an appreciation of issues. Should that “One major policy proposal” precede a manifesto committee, campaign team, manifesto launch, etc? Hone your craft Serwaa Amihere.”

However, his comments were deemed by many as discourteous and too harsh.

Meanwhile, Mr Agyenim-Boateng was not the only member of the opposition party who took offence for the media personality’s question, Dzifa Gunu also infuriated by the question replied her saying, “You are a very lazy and uninformed journalist, you thrive on noise to be relevant”.

She further added “did you hear @JDMahama talk about scrapping the double-track completely? Didn’t you hear him say he will abolish the luxury tax before the NPP rushed to abolish it? Do your research?”
