Rachel Appoh has pinned the downfall of Akuapem Poloo on her manager.

The former Deputy Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection noted that it was Akuapem Poloo' manager that did not allow the actress to render the public apology she was instructed to give by the Gender Ministry.

“Gender ministry instructed her to render an official public apology but her manager prevented her from doing it. I personally spoke to him but he refused. The director of Social Welfare can even attest to this. What do you gain as a manager if your artiste goes to jail? Everything you have worked for will go to waste. As a manager, you are the one supposed to prevent Akuapem Poloo from going to jail,”

“Initially when the director called him, he was rude. He said Akuapem Poloo did nothing wrong and that she should be given a breathing space,”

She said this on the back of the long list of celebrities who have been pleading for the government to intervene in the ‘harsh’ sentencing of Akuapem Polo on charges of publication of obscene material and two counts of domestic violence.

The government has been asked to either grant a presidential pardon or reduce the 90-day jail sentence of the actress who is said to have learnt from her mistakes.

Furthermore, according to her, actress and TV presenter, Nana Ama McBrown, could also have been jailed for kissing her daughter on live Tv.

“We have laws in Ghana. Laws do work here. Even McBrown could have been jailed for kissing her daughter. The fact that you haven’t been arrested does not mean laws don’t work. Anything that degrades a person’s integrity is punishable by law," she concluded.
