“I don’t know why he said that; everyone has a personal life. But we are all Ghanaians and must be there for the people. I may say I won’t charge, but someone will.
“I’m doing it for myself since dumsor affects everyone. So, I am doing it for both myself and the people. I’m not arguing that charging for a demonstration is wrong because everyone has their motive,” Kyekyeku told YEN.com.gh.
