In the midst of Ghanaians' sorrow at the unexpected death of Deputy Finance Minister John Kumah, prominent social media figure Afia Schwar has sparked new controversy.
Mrs. Lilian Kumah, who is married to John Kumah, has been the subject of a petition for an investigation by the notoriously controversial Afia Schwar. This follows public outcry and speculation over Mrs. Kumah's previous remarks on the wealth of her late husband. When Afia Schwar attacked Mrs. Lilian Kumah, she spared no words. She took issue with Mrs. Kumah's recent interview, in which she boasted about her late husband's fortune and influence.
Afia thought Mrs. Kumah's actions were wrong and should be looked into; therefore, she suggested that they should be. Mrs. Kumah's conduct during the interview, according to Afia, betrayed her lack of discernment and prompted demands for an investigation into her personal life. The feud started when Mrs. Lilian Kumah, in an interview with Asaase FM, spoke about her late husband's fortune, influence, and accomplishments. Her outspoken claims have provoked widespread condemnation, with many people casting doubt on the veracity and origin of John Kumah's fortune. The public is still confused about the late minister's alleged rapid amassing of fortune.
Opinions on Afia Schwar's remarks are diverse. With her late husband's fortune suddenly increasing, some think Mrs. Lilian Kumah's statements should be investigated. Especially when there is a lot of money at stake, they think honesty and responsibility should prevail.
But there are many who see Afia's comments as dramatic and self-serving and who wonder why she wants a probe into Mrs. Kumah's private life. No one knows what will happen to Mrs. Lilian Kumah's reputation and public image now that she's in the limelight.
Considering the public's outcry over Afia Schwar's charges, Mrs. Kumah may feel pressured to respond. To put her fears to rest and rebuild trust, she should explain where her late husband's money came from.
Adding fuel to the fire, Afia Schwar has demanded an investigation. Despite Afia's reputation for taking a stand, the claims she made regarding her wealth bring up valid points about the need for more openness and responsibility in society.
