Prince Mackay, the Chief Executive Officer of Radio and Television Personality (RTP) Awards, says those who are sabotaging his outfit’s awards are paid by certain individuals.
According to him, those individuals are only bitter enemies of the awards scheme, and their actions are targeted at tarnishing the credibility of RTP just to bring the award down to its knees.
Speaking in an interview with Max Drive in Accra on Friday, Mackay dismissed the claims of his critics, saying the RTP was one of the most credible awards in the country and has stood the chance of shaping the lives of winners.
He noted that those who had been sabotaging the awards were mostly the aggrieved persons who couldn’t win as well as those outside the awards scheme who were allegedly paid to spread false information about the awards.
“Most of the challenges that RTP was having were not challenges that were being created by the scheme or the management of the scheme. There are people paid either through artificial or real terms to tarnish the scheme,” Mackay noted.
He emphasized that the actions initiated by some popular personalities like Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, Socrate Safo, and Blakk Rasta, among others, were all motivated by malice, and their words had no iota of truth in them.
Asked if he would take legal action against those sabotaging the credibility of the awards scheme, he said he might consider that in the future.
He explained that his reluctance to take legal action against those individuals stemmed from the fact that they were all in the same industry and were working together.
However, Mackay said the evidence was available, and anyone wanting to know the credibility of his outfit would know through various sites chronicling the achievement of the awards scheme and how the awarding was done.
