The government intends on using influential citizens to do so and Ghanaian rapper Shatta Wale is one of those the government has on their list but they want to use his services for free,but the rapper has vehemently refused he won’t be doing any campaign for free.
Although he acknowledges the threat the disease poses as well as the pragmatic steps needed to combat it, the musician, who has carved a niche for himself as one of the most influential celebrities says he will turn down the appointment if it comes with no package.
In an interview with 3FM’s MzGee, he said,
“They’re working and they’re getting paid… They’re charging us with taxes here and there and we understand. Our royalties are not getting to us so we’re not even making that kind of money that we have to make; so if government wants to engage me, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie or any other, they should know that there is something that needs to be done. It’s a tradition.“
“We can’t come out and say we’re going to do it for free. I’m not part of their political party. It’s best for them to put a package down. Doing it for free will be very hard for someone like me.”
Question:
Do you think the Ghanaian artist has made the right call?
