“Miss Ghana is not only about cash, car and crown. It is about service to the country. This vision has been carried through from when Reginald Laryea was running Miss Ghana, up until some point Shirley leased the franchise for five years and now we have taken over completely,” she said.
“Yes, we bought the franchise, that is what people do not get and then they bash us on radio and say this one should come over and step in and I say how unfortunate,” she said.
Asked if she will trade the franchise in the wake of all the controversies, Ms Patty, who won the pageantry in 2004, said:
