An expensive mobile phone used by Felix Kwakye Ofosu has become a hot topic online after he appeared on TV3’s Key Points show on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
During the live interview, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu used his phone as a source of reference while making his points. But what caught the attention of many viewers was the type of phone he used. According to reports that surfaced online, the mobile phone he was holding is said to cost around $11,809, which is over 170,000 Ghana cedis.
This revelation has generated a lot of discussions, especially among members of the opposition. Many are asking how he was able to afford such an expensive device. Some social media users have described the phone as a “luxury item” that only a few people in the country can afford. Others believe public officials should be careful about how they spend money, especially in difficult times when many Ghanaians are struggling with the high cost of living.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu is a well-known political figure and a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). He is the current minister in charge of government communications. Some of his supporters have come to his defense, saying he may have bought the phone with his own hard-earned money and that there is nothing wrong with using expensive gadgets if one can afford them.
Still, others think politicians should be more modest with their lifestyle. They argue that leaders must lead by example, especially when talking about issues of hardship and accountability.
As of now, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu has not responded to the claims about the price of his phone. The conversation, however, continues to trend on social media.
