Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Bosiako says his inability to speak good English is not a barrier to be successful in life.
Chairman Wontumi as he is popularly called said, his deficiency in the queen’s language has rather propelled him to strive for excellence wherever he finds himself.
Speaking on Asempa FM Monday, the NPP Ashanti Regional leader said he is not bothered when people mock him for his ‘broken English’.
“I understand English, but I can’t speak fluently and I’m not bothered when people laugh at me because it does not pay my bills.”
Chairman Wontumi said as a successful businessman, he has the money to hire the services of interpreters and speech writers to solve his deficiency.

GNAT plse help him anyway that is the norm in that part of the nation.
osei kuffour was a shoemaker and now speaks great English and travels to work with it. With the same money get people to teach you to speak etc okay. Your life is not only limited to Kumasi. Learn new things that make you associate and travel better, and even add to your business. Stop counter attacking and learn.
I am surprise to hear people with knowledge speaking like fuuls. Go to UK, Germany, Malaysia etc, and ask their nationals if they can speak their neighbour's language. Ghanaians glorify other nations more than their own.These things should stop and lets appreciate our own. A 10 year old pupil is using Samsum Galaxy X7,while the parents are struggling to pay for his/her school fee. WHY? Hypocrisy at its best. 'Nyaa twuem bekum y3n'.
You do not belong to real people. Your lack of knowledge is really the cause of your unwanted behaviour. Education might have helped you read along the lines for you to understand the long term effects of your behaviour.
Seriously speaking what is the point of being able to speak good English and unable to fend for yourself. Dont we have thousands of graduates who speak good english with some having Masters in English itself who are unemployed and broke? Brofo does not put food on the table wai.
Okayyyyy. I now understand. That is why he behaves like that. hmmmmmmmmmmmm I won't blame him again.
As usual I am here to exhibit my F00OLISHNESS. I have water in my brains. The most F00OLIS person you can find on this platform is me that is why they call me Koliko. I support NDC and my mother is alcoholic.
It is only in Black African Ghana that ones ability to speak English is used to mark ones level of intelligence. No surprised the nation was branded as a failed country by the American. A professor in English called Jane Naana Opoku Agyeman was given the Education Ministry as a minister & what did we see? She failed woefully. She ended up joining school drop outs like Nii Lantey & Fiifi Kwertey to call for the freedom of 3 Cri.mi.nals called Montie 3. Having defamed & threatened a lady like herself. English is a language and it has nothing to do with intelligence. If that is the case then Ohemaa Woyegye of Adom FM must the president because he can speak countless number of Languages.
hahahahahaha I just love this man, chairman one.
