A former deputy Chief of Staff has expressed his disgust at the Presidency for allowing American rapper, Meek Mill, to film a music video at the Jubilee House.
Alex Segbefia says the act is disrespectful to the entire country.
He added that is not the cushion Ghanaians want from government amidst the current economic turmoil.
According to him, the move is totally unacceptable and should have been allowed under no circumstance.
“In the current climate we are in now, where Ghanaians are looking up to government to create a better economy for them, some of these things are unnecessary.
"Not long before this, we had foreigners in this country, and we saw people boo at the President. His advisors should have taken a cue from this and also had in mind that we are being watched.”
“This was so unnecessary and is unacceptable in any shape or form,” he said in an interview with Accra-based-Citi FM on Monday, January 9.
On Sunday, January 8, American act, Meek Mill, posted a music video he shot at the Jubilee House, during his visit to the country during the Christmas festivities.
In the video, Meek Mill, in the company of some friends were seen in and around the Jubilee House jamming to his upcoming track.
The singer and his colleagues walked through some chambers of the Jubilee House, as well as the outer precincts of the facility.
However, what he intended to excite his fans rather angered hundreds of Ghanaians who took to their social media platforms to condemn the use of the Jubilee House for the said filming.
According to the critics, since the Jubilee House is the embodiment of Ghana’s executive authority, it is inappropriate for the singer to have been allowed to access it in that manner.
The critics have therefore lambasted the Presidency for allowing the Jubilee House to ‘cheapened’.
Meanwhile, Meek Mill himself has deleted the video from his Instagram page in the wake of the raging public backslash.
The American rapper has also apologised for posting his controversial music video.
In a tweet on Monday evening, the singer said it was not his intention to disrespect Ghanaians.
