IS BECCA LYING TO GHANAIANS, WHERE IS THE MONEY RAISED FOR THE CHILDREN's INSURANCE..


After successfully organizing one of the best events as a musician, Becca the smooth strong voice, women’s advocate singer has keep very quiet after her charity show. I stand to be corrected but I sincerely think that nothing has being done so far in getting the money for the deserved children in our country.
The singer promised to insure over a thousand (stand to be corrected) children in Ghana’s deprived areas, hence a show was held at the state Banquet hall some time back with other musicians supporting her. The noise was all over as she became the first singer and musician locally to have taken such initiative in the country, hence received much attention from inside and outside the media.
It has been quiet some time now since her team or her self said something about that money raised at the show, the amount that night was so much that she confidently said that “my dream is to take care of children, especially those deprived in society, so this money will insure children to the National Health Insurance scheme in rural areas”, she said this after her show when GTV interviewed her.
As a patriotic freelance journalist I urged my other colleagues to support me as we ask Becca and her management team this question “WHERE IS THE MONEY YOU RAISED FOR THE CHILDREN”. I speak for the child whose mother head the news on TV and was very happy, I also speak for that father who has eleven children and cannot insure them all including himself and many others in society. It will be my greatest Joy if Becca and her team can prove me wrong by showing Ghanaians, especially those who contributed to her dream financially details of how the insurance is going so far.
As usual, we might say she is doing it without the media in some village, incase that school of thought comes up, I want that school of thought to think about this “Why did she use the media to achieve her goal and after it, decides to go silent on us”. Let’s say she handed over the money to the Ministry in charge we still want her to prove her self as to how she disbursed the money raised.
I hate to say that I am beginning to suspect that she did that show to raise her image and brand her self well in the eyes of well wishers and fans, which worked beautifully because I even applauded her, but if she wants to disappointment fans and every one who loved her for that, then I think is a wrong move.
Becca and her record label plus management team, please prove me wrong and lets all hope that she is right after all, either than that she will loose her image in the eyes of those who trusted her. Becca has currently released some singles feat Samini and all that, but has said nothing about the INSURANCE money and I ask WHY?
