YEN.com.gh sought the take of a successful single Ghanaian mother called Selina Buabeng about the decision Kate's mother made and she had this to say;
It is a good thing that Kate's mother wanted to instil hardwork in her children and clearly it worked out but i don't see myself ever deciding to give out all my properties at the expense of my children.
The fact that I suffered to acquire them should not mean my children need to suffer as well.
I toiled to acquire them so that they would not have to do the same.
