I’m not on NDC gov’t payroll; my work is sacrifice for nation-building – KSM

Ghanaian comedian and television host Kwaku Sintim-Misa, commonly known as KSM, has refuted claims that his advocacy for national development is motivated by financial gain from the NDC government. KSM explained that individuals who commit themselves to the nation's betterment should not be immediately suspected of being on someone's payroll.

Speaking on his show, KSM expressed frustration that some people, including educated colleagues, had made or spread these unfounded allegations. He emphasized that the pursuit of national development should not be equated with monetary considerations and that true dedication to the country may require personal sacrifices. KSM stressed that his frequent discussions on nation-building were not being funded by any undisclosed source and challenged those making such claims to provide evidence.

He defended his work, stating that the producer of his show had chosen to remain in Ghana and collaborate with him on developing the programme, demonstrating a commitment to national development without seeking external financial rewards. KSM urged those making such allegations to respect him and acknowledged that most of his audience understood the motivation behind his advocacy.
