Akrobeto mentioned a few public figures who have supported the brand in the past, including the late former Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, the late Sir John and former finance minister Ken Ofori Atta. He highlighted the importance of patronising Ghanaian-made products to boost the local economy.
In the video, the actor flaunted a personal Kantanka vehicle he owned. The car, which came in a beautiful blue colour, had a DV license plate indicating that it was recently acquired.
This follows recent comments by the CEO of Kantanka Automobile, Kwadwo Safo Kantanka Jnr, addressing public criticism about the pricing of their vehicles. The CEO noted that many Ghanaians unfairly compare the cost of new Kantanka cars to used imported ones.
Kwadwo Safo Jnr stated that most critics of the prices often cannot afford cars and expect vehicles to be priced as low as GH¢2,000 or GH¢5,000. To address affordability, he disclosed that the company had designed a smaller car priced at GH¢45,000, but people still complain.
According to him, the GH¢45,000 vehicle was tailored for individuals seeking cars for ride-hailing services or taxi operations. He described the pricing as competitive for a brand-new vehicle. Akrobeto's comments for support have also been met with mixed reactions from social media users.
