The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) has condemned and disassociated Ghanaian women from the reckless statements made by actress and photo model, Moesha Boduong, during her recent interview on CNN.
The socialite revealed to CNN’s Amanpour show, that the state of Ghana’s economy has pushed her to sleep with a married man in order to survive and live a comfortable live.
I've not replied any critic; ignore posts claiming I did – Moesha Boduong
“Ghana our economy is such that you just need someone to take care of you because you can’t make enough money as a woman here,” she said when she featured on an episode on the CNN show called ‘Sex & Love Around the World’ on the topic “When being a mistress is a financial decision”.
Moesha has since apologized for denigrating Ghanaian women following the chorus of condemnation across the country that greeted her comments.
A statement signed by the Gender Minister, Otiko Afisah Djaba said “Ms. Moesha Boduong has the right to discuss her lifestyle on any platform but she does not represent the multitudes of hardworking Ghanaian women putting in 10 – 18 hours a day in the fields, markets and offices across Ghana, to put food on the table, find shelter for their children and guide their families through the turbulence of life to the extraordinary vision of “A Ghana Beyond Aid”, which is within our reach.”

It further said “Finally, we wish to caution publicity-hungry actresses and socialites that while it is within their right to bask in infamy and self-ridicule, they have no right to drag decent, hardworking Ghanaian women into their destructive obsession with notoriety and infamy at any price. Ghana is a respectable country with a great heritage and proud citizens. If any Ghanaian cannot lift high the flag of Ghana, the least he/she can do is not to soil the image nor smear the reputation of our motherland.”
