Revealing what
pushed him to close down Kwaku Manu Educational Complex, the actor said when
the people of Santasi saw that he took his children to the United States of
America, they started withdrawing their children from the school
In his bid to
give back the community, popular Kumawood actor, Kwaku Manu, established a
school in Santasi-Kumasi but he has unfortunately closed it down.
"I took my
children to the United States six to seven years ago, and when I went back to Ghana,
about 20 to 22 parents had taken their children out of my school," the
actor said.
In a video
shared by YouTuber Hello Frank, Kwaku Manu detailed that he had taken his
children abroad for a vacation, but what transpired after shocked him. Kwaku
Manu explains that the significant withdrawal of students had a substantial
impact on the school's enrollment and overall functioning.
According to
Kwaku Manu, he did not bring his children back to Ghana at that time because he
wanted them to stay in America and get a taste of American culture until it was
the right time for them to come home.
However, this
decision sparked ill rumours and speculations in Santasi. "It started
going around that I had taken my children out of the country" with
impressions that I used proceeds from the school to relocate my children to the
U.S.
Defending his
decision of taking his children to the U.S, he said "I was able to build a
school, so with the job I did to build the school, can't I do the same job to
take my children abroad?"
He emphasized
that "They claim the school fees they were paying were what allowed me to
take my children to school, and as I speak, some of these parents owe me three
terms, and the school fees were 100 cedis and 50 cedis."
Kwaku Manu added
that outstanding debts further complicated the situation. "I was tired of
the situation, so I stopped operating the school,"
