But for the timely intervention of the Public Relations Officer for the Central Regional Coordinating Council, Isaac Afanyi Donkor, the Disc Jockey would have been skinned alive.
It all began when the DJ (name withheld), in a bid to further soften the mood of the expectant crowd anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new DCE and the Regional Minister, Hon Ama Benyiwa Doe, inadvertently played a popular track titled ‘Enkoyie’, which can be found on Lucky Mensah’s latest album, ‘Nkratuor’.
Peacefm’s Central Regional correspondent, Kwabena Marfo, who was at the scene of the incident said it was indeed a joyous occasion as the entire community had come out in their numbers to witness the swearing in of Hon. Obeng who was recently appointed by President Mills as the DCE for the area.
According to him, after swanking their bodies and carousing to the sound of brass band music, the locals requested a switch to secular music, and thus the DJ was prompted to do his stuff on the turn-table.
But to the surprise and annoyance of the crowd, the DJ inserted into the machine, the controversial ‘Enkoyie’ track by ace highlife musician, Lucky Mensah, believed to be directed at President Mills’ poor government, an allegation he (Mensah) has strenuously denied.
“Enkoyie”, which literally means things are not going well under the current NDC regime, seeks to address the inefficiencies of the Mills’ government and the suffering of the masses who voted for President Mills and his government.
Apart from the fact that the song exposes Atta Mills’ poor government, it is also seen as time to pay back the NDC government following the poor treatment meted out to him after playing a major role in ensuring the party won power.
