Vodafone Icons-Street Edition bribery allegation: should Kwaw Kese & Vodafone be investigated?

This whole controversy, no doubt, cannot be left to lie low, and Kwaw Kese has alleged in his accusation that the telecommunication giant who is the organizer of the show ‘was not fair’.

He stated this in a video interview that has gone viral on the internet that someone from Vodafone called him and asked for the sum of GHS 10,000, which he refused to pay and that caused his brother’s eviction.

It will be recalled that Kwaw Kese disruption of the Vodafone Icons-Street Edition’s live recording show forced South African Idols Judge and Universal Music executive, Randall Abrahams and Vodafone’s Uche Ofodile to leave the stage with the prize they had brought to present to the eventual winner.
