John Mahama Gives KK Kabobo a Donation of 5,000 Cedis

The seasoned performer is reportedly facing a liver illness, but regrettably, the hospital bills and other expenses caused the immediate family to go bankrupt along the way, forcing them to ask for outside financial assistance.

After breaking the story of veteran musician K.K. Kabobo, Barima Kaakyire Agyemang took to social media to share what was happening. She wrote, "After I broke the story of Veteran Musician K.K. Kabobo.... The flag bearer of the NDC His Excellency John Dramani Mahama has donated GH₵5000 to him." Godspeed, H.E. The family is appreciative.

In the meantime, KK Kabobo stated that he had already got 2000 Ghana cedis from GHAMRO during an interview that was broadcast on Accra's Hitz FM monitored by Soireenews.com.

The renowned artist claims that GHAMRO and other Takoradi-based groups have given him some financial support to enable him take care of his hospital bills after giving him a courtesy visit.

"GHAMRO arrived, and they gave me GH2000 to buy medicine. He added, "A few other Takoradi-based organizations were also successful in raising money, which they gave.

Yaw Sarpong, a gospel musician, has a manager named Nana Poku Ashis, who has acknowledged that his artist is unwell.

The seasoned gospel singer, according to Nana Poku, has been bedridden for more than a year, but they decided to keep it quiet for private reasons that are only known to them.

He has spent more than a year in bed. It began approximately at this time last year. Although we are hopeful that he will regain his vigor in the upcoming months, it was terrible when it happened a year ago," he added.

Speaking about money, the manager of the seasoned artist asserts that it is past time for the government to enact laws guaranteeing veteran musicians receive greater compensation in the form of royalties, ensuring that they won't have to rely on charity in their later years.

"It's serious when musicians come out to plead for healthcare. The government needs to start putting policy into action. "Musicians are dying in pain, and nobody talks about royalties," he remarked.

He claims that royalties are the equivalent of a pension for musicians or entertainers in Ghanaian society, but the money awarded to seasoned performers is little to write home about—he gave the example that some senior artists receive royalties of 50 Ghana cedis.

He made a comparison between Ghana and other foreign nations, stating that the only thing sustaining the veteran musicians in those nations is their royalties.

Royalties serve as an entertainer's pension. Foreign musicians depend on royalties instead than begging for assistance. After so many years of labor, you pay these musicians 50 cedis here. It's awful," he remarked.

He took use of the occasion to ask music lovers for prayers and donations.

"Help is needed by all." We would need prayers, and anyone with a little to give can certainly help him. He said, "The few individuals his music has touched should also pitch in.
