‘I believe one of the responsibilities of the Guild is to support its members, or support the interest of Ghanaian actors. I am a member of GAG and that was why I went to play for the Guild and also to represent Ghana in the name of the Guild. I was told that the match was to celebrate Ghana’s Independence Day and if for nothing at all, the Guild should have shown concern,’- He further stated.
However, the President of Ghana Actors Guild, Mr. Samuel Nii Odoi Mensah explained the Guild’s inability to support him financially was due to the fact that members of the group do not pay dues and therefore was in no position to help in that terms. He stated he often checked up on him just as other members did.
