He added that Malik Basintale but for politics would not be even fit to talk about Akufo-Addo.
“Akufo-Addo has never taken a bribe in his whole entire life. He has never engaged in anything that is corrupt or never has he been cited in any corruption allegation in his entire life.
“You Malik, you are not even fit to be Akufo-Addo’s house boy, you sit here on national television to insult him that he has taken bribes and all that,” he said.
Malik Basintale urged the host of the programme to control Gyewu Appiah, saying that he is becoming too “emotional”.
They traded words till the end of the programme.
