Shatta Wale wrote: “Letter to our new President of Ghana
I wish our new president John Dramani Mahama can also reform our music system to attract more professionals on radio and television, similar to the appointment of new ministers when they assume power.
The entertainment industry needs that change. The younger ones coming can’t go through what some of us have been through. My humble 
wish… just for the next generations to come and see this music business as a job and not just fun.”
