"It's not as if we don't appreciate what he has done. However, if you look at Ja Rule's status and his achievements in the music industry in America, he's impacted a lot of things, and so if you hear that he'd build a project in a country, you would expect that it would be something monumental," she said.

She further criticized the contractor for doing a shoddy job on the project that reportedly cost millions of cedis.

"So, for those critiquing, it is not that they don't appreciate the gesture. Because the money that reportedly went into the project, another contractor would have built something more modernised. I'm sure if they had given the job to another contractor, there would be a few touches that would have been done to make the building a little more pleasing," she said.
