He added that Kevin Taylor’s stock in trade is just to malign innocent persons with lies, adding that he lies with confidence that gullible people tend to believe him.

Speaking in a viral video shared on X, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak stated, “To respond to a bigot, somebody who hates our country but pretends to love it. Whose stock in trade is just to malign innocent persons with lies. And he tells the lies with so much confidence that people, some gullible people tend to believe him.

Everything that I’m going to say, I swear by the God that created me. That I am saying what I know is the truth, not because I want to entertain someone like Kelvin Taylor, but because of innocent thousands and one gullible people across the globe who are finding it very difficult to read between the thin line, to know who is speaking the truth and who’s lying”.

He further narrated, “Let me start by saying that I’m not a fan of him. I don’t listen to him. I hardly get time to listen to him. But unfortunately, his last few episodes seem to consistently mention me. And people draw my attention, and a lot of people, I mean well-meaning Ghanaians, don’t respond to him.

I’m sorry that I cannot continue to hold on when he continues his lies. I have had the great privilege of serving my people from Asawase in parliament for over a decade and a half. I am not anywhere near saying that I am more intelligent than any other person in Asawase or wiser than any other person in parliament.

But I know all those who have worked with me, who attest to the fact that I’m so passionate about what I do. I have consistently defended my constituency, and the records are there for everybody to see. I have consistently defended my party since I was in parliament”.

The Interior Minister added, “ I have consistently defended every flag bearer that we’ve had with all the energy in me. Kelvin Taylor, let me tell you, I challenge you to bring everything that you claim to have, and I’m very ready for it. Let’s start by saying I don’t work for you.

I work for my constituents. But the kind of allegations that you are levelling is so shocking that you claim to be a journalist and know the tenets of good journalism. The tenet of good journalism is that when you get facts, you give people those facts around them, so-called facts, to authenticate or otherwise.

You go check, you provide evidence of what you are saying. You don’t just go talking on top of your head because probably…”.

The netizen who shared the video mocked the NDC, accusing them of empowering Kevin Taylor and defending and weaponising against opponents.

He wrote, “Funny how life works.

The same Kelvin Taylor you guys empowered, defended and weaponised against opponents has suddenly become a thorn in your own flesh. Hmmm

Now look at the irony, Charley, a whole Interior Minister of Ghana seemingly having to respond and fold under pressure from Kelvin Taylor?

Be careful what you create, one day it may come back for you”.

In related news, the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued a statement demanding that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) rein in Kevin Taylor over his incessant attacks on former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

In a strongly worded press release issued on May 8, 2026, the NPP described the attacks as a desecration of a national icon.

They further called on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to rein in Taylor, who they alleged has deep ties to the party.

According to the NPP, the vicious attacks by Kevin Ekow Taylor against His Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor are not politics but a desecration.

They added that President Kufuor rescued this nation from economic collapse, strengthening Ghana’s democracy, earning the admiration of Ghana and the world.
