Mercy Asiedu allegedly declined $2 Million grant for film village project – NPP’s Abro claims

Mawuli Ekpe Peter, known as ‘Abro,’ revealed that actress Mercy Asiedu allegedly rejected a $2 million government grant meant to enhance her film village in Kunsu.

The grant, offered under former Creative Arts Minister Barbara Oteng Gyasi, was intended to support Asiedu’s existing project, which was deemed a viable location for a national film village.

The only requirement was submitting a proposal, but Asiedu reportedly declined.

Ekpe Peter claims external influences may have led her to demand a higher $5 million grant.

Consequently, the opportunity was lost when Ibrahim Awal replaced Oteng Gyasi as minister.

The grants, given post-COVID-19, were meant to support creative arts projects.
