Ghanaian musician Okyeame Kwame has disclosed that he has not officially been appointed to the Manifesto Committee of Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia.
He has also intimated that he is not politically affiliated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a press release signed on February 24, 2024, by Okyeame Kwame, he stated that he had not been paid for this task.
“I wish to reassure my respected following and reiterate that I remain non-partisan and apolitical, as I have been throughout my entire career. I have not been paid by H.E. The Vice President’s campaign team to be a member of the committee for the arts and tourism manifesto nor have I officially been invited on my terms as non-partisan participant,” he noted.
According to Kwame, he is open to all other political parties that seek to tap into his expertise in the creative industry. “Indeed, when it comes to contributing policy opinion towards the advancement of the Arts and Culture in Ghana, I am respectfully open to all political or ideological persuasions, be they NPP, NDC, CPP, Independent or other, that may want me to openly and sincerely lend my knowledge to develop this nobel industry,” he added.
The ‘Made in Ghana’ hitmaker says he remains the consummate professional he has been for the past 26 years. He, however, expressed his gratitude to the Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia for reposing trust in his experience.
