A former presidential staffer has chastised government for allowing American Rapper Meek Mill to shoot a music video at the Presidency.
Mr Koku Anyidoho, the former director of communications at the Presidency during the late Prof John Evans Atta Mills administration said the level of access granted the rapper was the worst form of security breach and also cheapened the presidency.
Meek Mill and his crew were seen in a viral video rapping some explicit lyrics and dancing at the Jubilee House. His visit to the presidency came after he performed at the Afronation Concert on 29th December.
The rapper and his crew later stood in front of the lectern mostly used by the President during national addresses, to take some shots.
Meek Mill and his team also took some drone shots at the forecourt of the Jubilee House.
However, what he intended to excite his fans rather angered hundreds of Ghanaians who took to their social media platforms to condemn the use of the Jubilee House for the said filming.
Meanwhile, Meek Mill himself has deleted the video from his Instagram page in the wake of the raging public backslash. The American rapper has also apologised for posting his controversial music video. In a tweet on Monday evening, the singer said it was not his intention to disrespect Ghanaians.
In an interview with Sompa News Mr Anyidoho called on the security officials and the presidential staffers at the Jubilee House to take their job seriously adding that the most dangerous aspect of it is allowing the American Rapper to shoot his music video with mobile phones and little electronic devices.
"The presidential palace is not a playing grounds, those who have had the opportunity to work there must take their assigned duties seriously", he former deputy secretary of the NDC stressed.
