Former Deputy Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Rachel Appoh has disclosed how she came close to making sure socialite, Akuapem Poloo does not end up in prison after posting nudes of herself and her son on social media.
The former Deputy Minister, in an interview with Ola Michael on Neat FM’s ‘Entertainment Gh’, disclosed that when she heard the Child Rights International was prepping to file a lawsuit against she quickly stepped in and did everything possible to calm down the storm for the actress but the actress and her Manager messed up the plan.
She noted that Poloo’s manager talked her out of instructions given by the gender ministry.
According to her, the ministry asked her to apologise by acknowledging the ministry and other relevant institutions involved and return to the gender ministry with proof that she could take care of her son but she refused to do just so.
“I see my childhood self in Akuapem Poloo . . . she wants to make it at all cost. That’s the way I am. She is ambitious; so I always bless her,” she told the host, stressing, by her intervention, Akuapem Poloo was asked by the Gender Minister to render a public apology where she would acknowledge her fault and apologize to the Gender Ministry, Social Welfare Department and all other interested authorities in order to bury the hatchet.
“Directive from the Ministry was for her to make a public apology mentioning that the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection has taken the issue up. So, those attacking the Ministry for not doing anything for her wasn’t true . . . But she didn’t give that apology. According to the Director of Social Welfare, she didn’t do it. Her Manager said she has done the first one, so the second apology wasn’t important and so the manager didn’t allow Poloo to comply with the directive of the whole Ministry. That is what made the Child Rights International pick on her; actually, they had already written the letter to them,” she revealed.
