During John Mahama’s presidency, he came out with a policy to help improve the lives of filmmakers and musicians in the country. The policy saw the distribution of 50 cars to some stakeholders in the film and the music industry.
According to Akofa, out of the 50 cars made available, 25 were given to both actors and musicians in the North and Kumasi, while 25 were given to those in Accrra.
Akofa disclosed this during an interview on 3FM’s Sunrise, on Friday, June 21. She said they were made to make repayment in installment, but her car was taken away from her after the change of government.
Akofa mentioned that, her son was driving the car when it was taken away from him.
“He [John Mahama] started with 50. They gave 25 to Kumasi and the North and 25 to Accra for both actors and musicians and these are not flashy cars. I got i10. When NPP came to power, my car was taken away.
“My son was driving it, it had tracker because we were paying for it, we had years to be paying for it. When they came to power, they tracked it, my son was driving it, they stopped him and took the car away,” Akofa said.
