While a number of her colleagues in the creative sector have been offered appointments by the new government, singer Mzbel has disclosed she’s rather disappointed she hasn’t been approached with any offer yet although she worked tirelessly for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Although she admits she is likely to turn down any such appointment to save herself some peace and image from public scrutiny, she would have felt honoured and appreciated should the appointing authorities have approached her, considering her sacrifices that contributed to the NDC winning power.
“The truth is that I will turn down an offer of appointment should the President even call because I want peace of mind. I don’t want anyone to equate my success to politics because I work very hard.”
“For instance, should I travel for even my own show, they will say ‘she is travelling with taxpayers’ money. Politics has made her and this and that.”
“However, I’m disappointed that some of my colleagues have been given appointments while I’ve not even been called. Considering the fact that I’ve really been bullied, insulted and even threatened because of NDC so it’s disappointing that with the party in power now, Mzbel has been forgotten and no one has bothered to even get in touch with me.”
“Anyway, I don’t even know how these appointments are being done. Maybe, people submit their resumes or make calls to some influential people to lobby for them but at least a call to make an offer wouldn’t be bad,” she added.
Since 2012, Mzbel has been vocal about her affiliation with the ruling NDC, having campaigned for the party during elections. (Read also: Grammy winner Gramps Morgan praises King Paluta, Ashanti Regional Minister sets up committee to revive Kumawood)
In the last years, she led a group, Celebrities for Mahama, to campaign and canvass for votes for the party.
With the party in power, Mzbel disclosed that she has been under pressure to get members of the group appointments.
She told Graphic Showbiz on Tuesday, March 4, that her house has virtually become an extension of the NDC headquarters, with a number of the group members as well as sympathisers of the party pressuring her to get them jobs.
Mzbel disclosed that she’s in a fix at the moment since the few leading party leaders she was in touch with have distanced themselves and were not picking up her calls. That isn’t all, they are equally absent at places she hitherto met them.
