Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey is reported to have said at the rally that: “Parliament is a very serious business, it’s a serious place. The place is not for those who think they can heal the sick. “If you mistakenly vote for John Dumelo instead of Lydia Alhassan, you’ll always be watching movies at the movie theatre." This comment didn’t go down well for the people in the Creative Art Industry as some actors, musicians and entertainment journalists including Van Vicker, Zapp Mallet and Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo criticized her comments. But responding to this in a press statement, Madam Ayorkor Botchwey indicated that any attempt to twist her words should be disregarded as she was only referring to John Dumelo who has on several occasions demonstrated gross ignorance about governance and politics as a whole.
