The Chief Executive Officer of Zylofon media, Nana Appiah Mensah has responded to calls by some youth in Kasoa who are calling on him to stand as the Member of Parliament for the area.

According to the multimillionaire businessman, although he appreciates the call by the youth of the area he will not become a member of parliament “now”, leaving room for speculations about his future political ambition.
His response comes after ghanaguardian.com reported that the youth in Kasoa have launched their own self-financed campaign to get their native multimillionaire businessman to stand as the Member of Parliament for the area.

Pictures, flags and large car stickers calling for Mr Mensah to be made the representative of the area in the parliament of Ghana popped up in the sprawling area on the fringes of the capital Accra.

However the Menzgold CEO who was coy about his stance of being a Member of Parliament for the area, in a tweet, said: “I appreciate the call but, I am not enthused about a legislative house member status now. I am committed to creating one million decent jobs in Ghana within five years. Let's keep our gaze on that and that only”.

Mr Mensah’s philanthropic work in Kasoa is believed to be what has led the youth to suggest he contest a parliamentary seat in the area.

The founder of Zylofon Media is believed to be constructing a new palace for the chief of Kasoa and also training some of the youth to be able to take up jobs in factories he wants to construct in the area. Check out his tweet below;
