Maame Dokono runaway from politics

Veteran actress, Maame Dokono has vowed never to return to active politics as past experience has made the field unattractive to her. 

In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, the staunch member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who later defected to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) said she has learnt a lot of lessons from her involvement in political activities.

“The disgrace and insults I received for going into politics openly were too much for me. I have learnt my lessons and will not go into politics again. Even if I will go into politics, I will be behind the scenes and not as openly as did in the past,” she said.

“Like everyone else, I have my political party but I won’t be seen openly doing politics as I used to do in the past. It won’t ever happen again, trust me,” she added.

Maame Dokono used to run Peace and Love Orphanage, an outfit which has now been converted into a school – Graceful Grace School, Adentan.

According to the 72-year-old, running the school has not been rosy.

“It hasn’t been easy but we are managing and looking up to God. Some of the pupils don’t even pay their fees but what can we do? We have always been there for the poor so we manage the situation,” she said.
