Award-winning young Ghanaian songstress, Wendy Shay, has hinted at heading to the Human Rights Court to sue the country'sm Food And Drugs Authority(FDA) and the Gaming Commission for banning celebrities from endorsing alcoholic products and betting companies.
The FDA has barred Ghanaian celebrities from advertising alcoholic products in the country as they believe their impact on young people is massive.
The controversial actress herself has been a victim of such a situation after the FDA rejected a foreign beverage company's proposal of using her.
Recently, the Gaming Commission also banned betting companies from using celebrities for their advertisement and endorsements; a move which seems to be on the bad side of Ghanaian celebrities since most of them have contracts with betting companies.
Therefore, the singer has in a tweet called on her colleagues to come together to help fight these regulatory bodies because they are blocking their source of daily bread by preventing them from representing as ambassadors for organizations that produce alcoholic beverages and those who are in the betting industry.
For her, she is taking up the fight by sending the regulatory bodies to the court for these laws to be reversed because they are all Ghanaians and deserve to be treated well by the regulatory bodies.
“GH Celebs, can we put our differences aside and fight the system ?? I guess we don’t know how powerful we are … Well, I’m taking the FDA and Gaming commission to the Human Rights Court Celebs are also Ghanaians and deserve better !! Ghana wake Up !!,” the controversial actress tweeted.
Known for trending on Ghanaian Twitter almost every week for the slightest of reasons, Wendy Shay has had her fair share of trolling in the entertianment industry. However, this new move seems to be going in her favour.
