Ghanaian actor, Kwaku Manu, has opened up about how former president and the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, gifted vehicles to some personalities in the creative arts industry.

According to his narration, during Mahama's tenure, he decided to support individuals in the creative arts industry by giving them free vehicles to enhance their businesses.

He noted, however, that he refused the vehicle because it was 'too small,' leading him to lose interest.

Manu also said he rather requested that the car be given to his colleagues who did not own any vehicle, to aid them in their endeavors.

When asked why he declined the offer, Kwaku Manu explained, "The car they were giving to me was too small, but I didn't see the others' cars. I asked them to give the vehicle to my other colleagues who didn't have one at all."

He elaborated that during John Mahama's tenure, the government considered providing cars to actors.

"People are unaware of my political affiliation," Manu stated, adding that "Some individuals were coerced into claiming NDC membership to receive a vehicle, but this was not the case. This is partly why governments struggle to support the creative arts industry.'"
