There Is No Difference Between The Children’s Ward At Korle Bu Teaching Hospital And Ghana Prisons -Kwaw Kese
Hiplife artiste, Kwaw Kese says there is no difference between the Children’s ward at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and a prison.
He told Starr FM in an interview, the place is “extremely unhealthy” and “an eyesore.”
“I have been to prison before and if I tell you there’s no difference between the children’s ward and prison I bet you, I’m being very truthful. It is extremely unhealthy, the situation there is pathetic,” explained the rapper.
“The situation at the Korle Bu Children’s Ward was an eyesore. I wish after saying this you’ll come and have a look at it yourself or you’ll send your colleague journalists to report on the issue. You have to see the children’s emergency unit, trust me. What the newborn babies and their mothers go through is pathetic. I mean this ward that houses new born babies, I’m talking about a day old baby. The place is extremely vulnerable, anything at all can happen to those babies.”
Background
Kwaw lost his new born son barely two days after he was born at an unnamed private health facility in Accra.
The baby was reported to have had heart complications and was thus transferred the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital Friday, June 29, 2018.
He couldn’t travel outside the country for a cure also because of his size. The baby died on Monday, July 2, 2018 after unsuccessful attempts to save his life.
The dead son would have been the rapper’s second child with wife, Mrs. Doris Kyei Botchwey.
The couple’s first child is Docilla Nana Hemaa Botchwey, who Kese once described as “the best gift I got from 2016” and “lovely present.”
Mrs. Botchwey is popularly known as Pokua/Poks off her role in popular Ghanaian Television series, Efiewura. She also owns Poks Inn.
Meanwhile, the rapper has a record of spending a day in prison.
Kese was arrested and tried for narcotic offences in 2015. He was thus sentenced to a day imprisonment with a fine of GHc1,200.
So we believe the ‘Abodam’ man surely knows what he’s talking about by comparing these two places.
