A viral video circulating on social media has sparked public debates after Ghana’s Minister of Interior, Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka, was seen spraying money on a newly-wedded couple during a wedding celebration.

The video, shared on Facebook, captured the minister smiling as he showered the dancing couple with cash, a moment that quickly gained traction online.

The footage has since drawn mixed reactions from social media users, with some defending the minister and arguing that he was spending his personal money at a private event.

However, others have strongly criticised the act, describing it as inappropriate for a public officeholder and warning that such displays of wealth send the wrong message to the public.

Critics argue that public officials must be mindful of optics, especially in a period of economic difficulty, noting that justifications such as ‘it is his personal money’ do not suffice for sound judgment.

They caution that the display communicates opulence and, within the current political climate in Ghana, could be damaging to the image of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), describing the act as wrong.
