The NDC Destroyed My Career – Maame Dokono

Maame Dokono opens up about her tumultuous relationship with the NDC.

Popular actress Grace Omaboe accuses the opposition National Democratic Congress of deliberately attempting to destroy her business as well as her career.

According to her, the NDC wanted to kill her career. This was because of her unpopular decision to join the New Patriotic Party. This was after contesting as a parliamentary candidate for the Nyafuman in the Birim North District on the ticket of the NDC.

Furthermore, Grace Omabo won a case of negligence brought against her orphanage for the sodomy of a six-month-old baby.

She said this in an interview in an interview on Starr Chat.

Moreover, she stated that the NDC orchestrated the whole incident.

Also, she dismissed claims that she ran the orphanage without a license.

“It was very political. I had a license but I had not renewed it. It was not illegal because I was operating the orphanage and they were bringing the children to me. Why should they bring the children to me if they knew it was illegal, most of the children were even taken to orphanages that were not registered.

I had registered an NGO and every year I had to go and renew it, that is what I knew and I decided to use my house as a shelter. It wasn’t even meant for children alone, it was meant for women and men who were distressed…and the social welfare knew about it and OSU children’s home also knew about it.”

Grace Omaboe was a household name due to her acting, TV and radio programmes. However, she said movie producers and directors even failed to cast her in movies. This is because they were sceptical people especially NDC members wouldn’t buy the movies.

Moreover, she said she does not regret venturing into politics.

According to Maame Dokono, her passion to help the vulnerable and poor was her motivation to enter politics and though she failed to become a Parliamentarian.

Peace and Love Orphanage is now a school still operated by Maame Dokono.
