Ghanaian actor Prince Kwame Amoabeng, popularly known as Jeneral Ntatia, has called on the public to be resolute in holding politicians accountable for their actions. Despite facing criticism for speaking out against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for not delivering on some of their promises, Jeneral Ntatia remains unfazed.
In an interview, he stated, “Sometimes I bash them and they ask why I do that. But I feel that we should get to a point in Ghana where we should stop allowing politicians to take us for granted. We should stop that thing about I belong to NDC or NPP, so when it’s even bad, we should be there. We should speak up.”
He continued, “I learnt something recently on social media about the youth. I am bashing the NPP and they will say because I campaigned for them to assume power, I should keep quiet for us to suffer. It is even better to support and bash at the same time when it is not going well, than to support and keep quiet when it is not going well.”
When asked if he would support the NPP again, he said he needs time to study their manifestos. Jeneral Ntatia, a renowned comic actor and stand-up comedian, has featured in various films and theatre productions, including ‘Keteke’, ‘Kalybos in China’, and ‘Second Coming of Nkrumah’. He has also made a name for himself in the world of theatre, with impressive performances in productions such as ‘The Leopards Choice’, ‘Adam in Court’, and ‘In the Chest of a Woman’.
