    Attempting to combat corruption as president will result in death – Okyeame Kwame

    Okyeame Kwame asserts that the solution to Ghana’s issues lies in educating the next generation.

    From his vantage point, meaningful change appears unachievable due to the pervasive corruption in the current political environment.

    The rapper has voiced doubt, claiming that because corruption is so pervasive, any leader who tries to implement significant reforms will suffer dire consequences and may even endanger their life.

    “NDC/NPP cannot help Ghana; family is what can help Ghana. The problem affecting us as a people is a problem of the mind. The corrupt system cannot fix itself; it makes a lot of people rich and happy. If a president wants to come and fight corruption in the country right now, he will be dead in 2 weeks. It’s not about pay; it’s not about money; it’s about morality,” he asserted.

    Ghanaians’ current generation’s mentality, according to Okyeame Kwame, is the primary cause of corruption. He suggested that fostering corruption in young people from an early age would be the most successful course of action.

    “The politician was put in power by you and me; they are a representation of us, so if they are corrupt, it shows that you are corrupt. I agree that politicians are causing problems, but as you fight the politicians, train your child not to think like a politician. My vision is that we train our children to be incorruptible so that they will grow up and do away with this corrupt system. That is the only way I think Ghana would develop. Let us focus on training the young ones now,” he emphasized.

    When questioned about the politicians in charge right now, Okyeame Kwame gave a fatalistic response, implying that they will all eventually die. He emphasised that the best way to create good change in the future is to teach children to be selfless.

  • Politicians lead extravagant lifestyles, not celebrities – Okyeame Kwame

    Politicians lead extravagant lifestyles, not celebrities – Okyeame Kwame

    The multi-award winning musician Okyeame Kwame has dispelled the myth that famous Ghanaians lead opulent lives.

    The musician claims that politicians are the ones who have demonstrated extravagant lifestyles.

    His remarks come in response to the Economic and Organised Crime Office’s (EOCO) announcement that it would begin lifestyle audits aimed at celebrities and people who might be considered to have excessive wealth.

    Conversely, the “Yeeko” hitmaker claimed that celebrities experience financial hardships because their incomes are insufficient to support their lavish lifestyles.

    “I have been in the celebrity space for 20 something years, I do not think they will find any artiste who are “criminals” or many celebs and film makers because these people are suffering. It is very difficult to be in this industry as an influencer or artiste and then just by that be able to survive. I have not seen celebrities in Ferraris or Maybachs or Porsche cars or multimillion dollar mansions. Where are they? Show me one.

    “However, the people that I have seen living lavishly are politicians. I have seen civil servants who make maybe ₵14000 a month and driving S-class,” he told Berla Mundi on TV3’s New Day on Monday.

    He clarified that their occasional vacation outside of Ghana is solely funded by their savings.

    Instead, Okyeame Kwame urged EOCO to concentrate more on politicians who are most likely to be affected by its proposed plan to combat corruption in the nation.

    “They are going to start investigating celebrities and in less than 30 days, they will be done because it is obvious that there are no or very few celebrities who are enjoying unwarranted wealth,” he noted.

    The musician expressed his excitement, nevertheless, at EOCO’s decision to protect integrity across the nation.

    The decision by EOCO follows the recent guilty plea in a $2 million romance scam case made by Ghanaian musician and social media influencer Mona Montrage, also known as Hajia4reall.

    “We are leading the charge by ourselves, making certain proposals for the amendment of the law to align with international standards. This ensures that any gaps in your financial profile are substantiated by your earnings.

    “Any disparities must be clarified to law enforcement, and the burden of proof rests on the individual to explain the origin of those resources,” the head of Administration and Investigations at EOCO, Edward Cudjoe disclosed to JoyNews in an interview.

    It is anticipated that EOCO’s new approach will address the nation’s growing issue of unexplained enrichment and illicit wealth-making ventures.
