Kafui Danku blames NPP government for being charged GHC1000 for braids at the salon -Deputy Minister of Information reacts

Actress Kafui Danku is blaming the NPP government for being charged GHC1000 when she went to a salon at East Legon to braid her hair.

In a Facebook post earlier today, August 10, Kafui Danku narrated how after being charged high for the service, she received a worst service following the rude behaviour of the owner who  sacked her friend from the salon for not greeting her.

She said that she has decided to ignore the woman and save her rants after going to church today after the unfortunate incident yesterday.

Kafui Danku ended the post by blaming the NPP government for her “predicament’ and that part of the story was one that perhaps ruffled the feathers of some of her followers and commentators including the Deputy Minister of Information, Fatimatu Abubakar.

“I can’t get over the bad experience I had yesterday at braid lounge in east Legon .

“That woman is rude and the worst service provider I’ve encountered. She charged me 1000 plus Ghs for braids which I was willing to pay but had issues just because my guest didn’t say hello !

“Anokwa !

“Truly, I pity those young girls working in such lousy salon!

“I went to church today o, so I’ll leave it here.

“Who even charges 1000 ghs for common braids!

“For such charges, service should be top notch.

“I blame the NPP government for all this.(sic)”

In a response to Kafui Danku's post, Fatimatu Abubakar asked the actress not to blame the government for everything particularly when she had the option of seeking services at a salon where she will be charged far less.

“At Malata market last week, I paid 120ghc for my braids. 60ghc for the hair and 60ghc for workmanship. You make ridiculous choices, you pay ridiculous prices. Don’t blame government for everything. Hajia Mariam is my plug. If you need directions to the Salon, contact her.”

But it appeared the Happy DeathDay actress will not accept the Deputy Minister’s suggestion when she responded that she resided at East Legon and would be inconveniencing to drive a distance of 23km just to braid her hair.

Kafui Danku also expressed her disappointment with the deputy Minister for suggesting a place to her instead of taking measures to address the rip off that has flooded the system.

“Just because we want distance convenience, is that why we should be ripped off. In certain other countries, the government can put measures in place to regulate service rates of not only salons but hotels and accommodation. For now, I know the main association that works is the transport union. As a deputy minister, you are supposed to be addressing the rip off with measures and not recommending me to someone at Malata Market. I have had braids done equally at cheaper rates. We all want to try different things at some point, and we would always appreciate social media as an e-place we can share our experiences.💌

In a later post on her Facebook reels with a video at the said salon, Kafui Danku asked her critics if they were aware service providers were taking advantage of recent taxes on goods?

“For all those asking how is that NPP’s fault no, are you aware of the recent taxes on goods and everyone?

Some insensitive providers like this salon took advantage.

Charging 1000 cedis for braids without feeling bad.

 Do you know how much taxes I had to pay for goods I shipped from China last year? Ridiculous.,” Kafui Danku posted.
