Berla Mundi Exposed Over ‘Inaccurate’ Question To Bawumia

A video circulating on social media shows media personality Berla Mundi questioning Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia about the lack of official comments from President Nana Akufo-Addo and himself regarding the deaths of eight individuals during the 2020 elections.

The exchange occurred during a recent press engagement, where Berla Mundi asked pointedly, “Mr. Vice President, according to Fact-Check Ghana and the Media Foundation for West Africa, the 2020 election resulted in eight deaths. We are yet to see an official comment from you or President Akufo-Addo regarding the matter.”

However, the discussion has taken a new turn with the emergence of videos showing President Akufo-Addo addressing the tragic events on various platforms. These videos contradict Berla Mundi’s implication that the President and Vice President have been silent on the issue.

The revelation has sparked widespread criticism, with many netizens questioning Berla Mundi’s research and preparation before raising the matter. Critics argue that the question misrepresented the facts, leading to an unnecessary controversy. Some social media users have called out the media personality for what they see as a lack of due diligence, pointing out that a simple search could have revealed the President’s past statements on the issue.

While the question intended to hold leaders accountable, the backlash highlights the importance of thorough research, particularly when dealing with sensitive topics like electoral violence. The incident also underscores the scrutiny journalists face when engaging with high-profile figures in the public sphere.
