A heated debate has emerged regarding Ghana's national language policy, following criticism from New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporter and activist PK Sarpong of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Minister Abla Dzifa Gomashie.

PK Sarpong targeted Gomashie for rejecting calls to make Twi the nation's sole official language.

In a strongly worded post, PK Sarpong accused the minister of bias against Akans, referencing her recent remarks on Channel One TV where she stated, “It’s not a policy I’ll be championing anytime soon.” Gomashie argued that adopting a single local language could marginalise others in the multilingual nation.

She used Ewe as an example, noting that it is spoken in several West African countries and even studied internationally. “Why reduce it to one language because others don’t feel like learning it?” she questioned.

In response to Gomashie's comments, PK Sarpong insisted that Twi is the most widely spoken local language in Ghana. “Any honest Ghanaian knows that Twi is the language many Ghanaians speak.

"No other language comes near,” he stated. He further asserted that if Ghana were to settle on a local language, “we all know that Twi has the upper hand.”

Sarpong also criticised what he described as the country’s preference for English over indigenous languages. “We are comfortable embracing the language of foreigners than a local one, Twi,” he declared.
