Veteran Ghanaian actress, Grace Omaboe affectionately called Maame Dokono has put the blame on the doorsteps of the opposition political party, National Democratic Congress (NDC) for sabotaging her acting career as well as her businesses during their regime.
According to Maame Dokono, the NDC deliberately decided to bring her down due to her bold decision to join the New Patriotic Party (NPP) even though she had contested on the ticket of the NDC as parliamentary candidate for Nyafuman in the Birim North District.
Grace Omaboe on Starr Chat with Bola Ray accused the NDC of masterminding the case of the sodomy of a six-month-old baby at her orphanage.
She said:

“It was very political…I [had] a license but I had not renewed it. It was not illegal because I was operating the orphanage and they were bringing the children to me. Why should they bring the children to me if they knew it was illegal, most of the children were even taken to orphanages that were not registered.
“I had registered an NGO and every year I had to go and renew it, that is what I knew and I decided to use my house as a shelter. It wasn’t even meant for children alone, it was meant for women and men who were distressed…and the social welfare knew about it and OSU children’s home also knew about it.”
Maame Dokono, however, disclosed that she has never regretted engaging actively in politics even though she failed at it.
She concluded that her wish in politics was to help the poor and less privileged in the society but unfortunately could not realise her dream to become a parliamentarian.
