Accra, Ghana | July 23, 2025
In a blistering interview on Accra-based Radio Gold, US-based Ghanaian journalist Kevin Taylor reentered the national discourse with renewed fire after the Supreme Court’s decision to quash a 2020 arrest warrant issued against him. The ruling, delivered on Tuesday, July 22, declared the warrant unlawful, ending a five-year legal battle over alleged contemptuous remarks directed at Justice Eric Kyei Baffour.
Taylor began by addressing personal trauma and recent accusations from fellow media personality Nana Yaa Brefo, who claimed his comments had caused her emotional distress. “Nana Yaa Brefo made me go through emotional trauma. I couldn’t sleep or eat for 6 months, hmmm, it’s not easy oooo, we have all suffered,” he said.
He also took aim at Paul Adom-Otchere, delivering a pointed critique. “Paul Adom-Otchere’s problem is medical. Paul is not fit, and I wouldn’t like to stress him.”
Positioning himself as a guardian of governance and truth, Taylor declared, “My job is to protect the government, protect the president to help Ghanaians.” He then challenged critics and rival media voices: “If you think you can bring NPP into power, do your best and bring them to power. However, how I do my job is my problem. If you think you have the best style, use it to bring your party to power.” He added, “I’m not in competition with anybody. We play the defense. Prove to the spectators that you can do it.” Taylor warned against misinformation and vowed to confront it head-on: “But if people think they will misinform, I will stop it. In my words, I will neutralize the jandam.”
Taylor condemned what he described as a culture of political deceit. “From 1992 to 2024, we let the misinformation go on, but never again. Some people made it a point to lie and made it normal,” he said. “People fabricate stories about the president. People sit in their rooms to cook stories against the president, and the NPP is fond of doing that.”
In a dramatic escalation, Taylor vowed to dismantle the opposition New Patriotic Party. “I will nullify the NPP. I will render the party obsolete,” he declared. “I will enter Ashanti Region and take power from the NPP in 2028.” He also extended an appellation to Otumfuo Osei Tutu, signaling a strategic cultural alignment.
