Abeiku Santana has probed MzGee’s determination to host a show that has been touted as the most controversial in Ghana.
Halfway into an interview on OkayFM, Abeiku Santana asked where exactly her interest lies in a program that has landed its stakeholders in deep trouble several times.
Abeiku also asked whether MzGee isn’t afraid to moderate a show that has been dragged to court four times, at a point had all of its panelists fined and consequently, some even almost convicted.
“Are you not scared of a program that has been to court several times, if I am not mistaken, it has been to court for about four times. People were almost convicted others have been fined.
People almost escaped jail. Why this program? Are you not scared?” Abeiku queried.
MzGee replied,
“I haven’t been to court or jailed before but day in and day out, a MzGee interview is trending. Day in and day-out, people are critiquing and talking about a MzGee conversation. As for the talking about, I am used to it. It is a jail term and a court that I haven’t been to. Plus, with the sort of production team we have, I’m not sure we will go to court,” he said.
One of the reasons United Showbiz’s former host, Nana Ama McBrown, was said to have resigned, was the direction in which the show headed.
It was said that the ‘straw that broke the camel’s back’ was when she and all her panelists were fined GHC60,000 each, in a defamation lawsuit filed by Chairman Wontumi.
One can recall that A Plus, one of the show’s panelists, disclosed that McBrown singlehandedly footed the fine for herself and other panelists.
