Rapper
Guru has added his voices to his colleagues who are scrutinizing plans by
politicians for the creative arts industry in their manifestos.
The musician real name Nana Yaw
Adjei Yeboah Maradona believes that the presidential candidates cannot solve
all issues in the country during their the four year term but they should try
and help up and coming musicians because the system is not helping them.
The ‘Mma Kuo’ hitmaker speaking with
MzGee on Hitz FM said after listening to the flag bearers of the various
political parties, he did not hear any of them hint on grooming musicians in
the country, something he thinks should have been promised.
He further advised his colleagues
not to endorse political parties for their personal gains but but for the sake
of their fans.
“They can’t tackle everything about Ghana
within a particular time given to them. There should be a structure like
grooming and helping up and coming artiste or helping already made artiste
trying to find their way into the world market.
So far, they’ve not fused anything
about the whole grooming thing into their policies. I won’t speak for only
myself but will leave it for them because they know what they want and
what they think will help Ghana.
If they think entertainment won’t
contribute anything to the growth of the country then its up to them.
Its an advice to us the musicians,
if we are to endorse any of the political parties it should not be for our
pockets but for the people.
If these politicians are not putting
anything in place that will help the artiste enhance the talent we have in
Ghana then I think we should critically look at it.
Coming out with a manifesto without
measures to help the up and coming artiste then I think we have a big problem.
I hope they have something they don’t want to disclose to the people” he
opined.
When MzGee asked Guru if he will throw his weight behind any
political party ahead of the December 7 polls, he answered no because it will
be used against him in future.
