Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah

Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah is a Ghanaian radio host and political commentator from the Ashanti Region. He became known as the host of the morning show on Angel FM in Kumasi and now presents his own online programme, For The Records. His sharp exchanges with other broadcasters regularly trend on Ghanaian social media.

Background

He says he comes from Asante Agona and was raised by his grandmother in Suame, Kumasi. He attended KNUST Primary School and Mfantsipim School, then studied public relations at GIMPA, where he also earned a master's degree in diplomacy and international relations. In late 2025 he said he was studying for a Master of Laws at the University of Connecticut in the United States. He is chief of the Agona Oyoko family.

Broadcasting

At Angel FM he hosted the station's morning show, mixing news with political discussion. After leaving, he publicly apologised to the Angel FM chief executive in a video that went viral. On For The Records he comments on national politics and has clashed with figures such as Captain Smart and the US-based critic Kevin Taylor.

Political ambitions

In December 2025 his comments on air led viewers to speculate that he might seek the Afigya Sekyere East parliamentary seat. He said he had "made a pledge to serve the people and the country" but did not confirm a run.
