She made this known when answering a question on whether celebrities should be paid by the government to be ambassadors to educate the public on Coronavirus.
This comes after the Information Ministry indicated that the government was asked if it has planned to hire celebrities as ambassadors to educate the public on the pandemic.
In his response, the Minister said;
“We were thinking of having them as public education ambassadors or public education champions.
“I later saw online stories that we have said we are going to use celebrity ambassadors and suggestions that we are going to pay some money. No, that is not happening.”
Jackie Appiah who had a radio interview with 3FM’s MzGee said;
“We all need to educate each other…This is a global thing, it’s not just my industry alone. It’s quite sad…sometimes I use my platform to educate people.
TI don’t need to wait for government; nobody needs to wait for anybody to call them. I think it is right for an individual to preach to people to talk to people that’s why we have the numbers. God has given us the numbers to educate people…everyone needs to educate people because people don’t understand what is going on.
I’m doing this already for free right now nobody is paying me. I’m already doing it without being paid.”
