Kumawood actor/comedian Kwaku Manu believes that many entertainers enter politics out of hunger rather than a desire to serve.
On UTV’s United Showbiz yesterday, September 9, Kwaku Manu stated that many individuals, including celebrities, have discovered a new love for politics because there is a lot of money to be made.
“Celebrities are hungry, and it is the main reason some of us are going into politics. There’s nothing happening for us at the moment, and I think it’s about time the government came to our rescue. Both the NPP and NDC governments made huge promises, but nothing is happening. “How are we supposed to have better lives when our leaders don’t think about us but themselves. Here in Ghana, our leaders are always enriching themselves, their friends, and their families without thinking about the ordinary citizens, and it is quite a sad development,” he stated.
The popular actor also stated that many celebrities’ desire to satisfy their hunger drives them to campaign for politicians, not necessarily because they share their political views.
Kwaku Manu also revealed that he doesn’t know the Minister of Tourism. “I don’t even know the Minister of Tourism because I don’t know what he has done for the industry.
“Ask most celebrities who the Minister of Tourism is and I can tell you about 90 percent will fail the test. It is obvious we have been neglected because nothing is happening,” he stated.
