The actor who via his facebook page begged the striking doctors so to prevent more lives being lost.

He used his platform to plead on behave of all Ghanaians whom he consider the reason he is in the entertainment industry.
In his post, the multi award winning actor said people are dying as the days pass by.
" Every second, every minute, every hour, every day, a brother, a sister, a mother, a father, an uncle, an aunt, a relative, a fan or a client is dying".
In an interview with Studio360gh to confirm the post, Mr. Edward Agyekum Kufuor says he believes that entertainers have a role to play in the welfare of the people who make them what they are today"the fans".
Again, he says, as an Entertainer, you just might not know what will happen to you the next minute so you must always be concern with the health issues and national issues that affect the lives of the people directly.
"We are blessed to be in the position we find ourselves where people celebrate us. One special way we can pay back the good gesture from the fans is to always be the mouthpiece of the people. If reports indicates about 500 people dead due to the strike, then it means something is not right and we as entertainers must intervene on behave of our families, relatives, friends, loved ones and the general public", said the 2014 Best Supporting Actor (Ghana Movie Awards)

A PLEA TO OUR DOCTORS
I am very sad this afternoon to hear on Starr fm news at Midday, that the estimated deaths as a result of the strike by doctors in Ghana is about 500.
As an entertainer, l consider these lost souls as family, as my fans, as my reason for doing what l do in our entertainment industry and it is one of my duties to speak on their behave.
I humbly plead with our dear doctors to PLEASE RETURN to their DUTIES to save lives despite their well justified calls.
On these grounds, we believe the government will be able to complete the negotiations with the doctors soonest because when two elephants FIGHT, we the ordinary people of our dear country suffer and die as the days go by.
Every second, every minute, every hour, every day, a brother, a sister, a mother, a father, an uncle, an aunt, a relative, a fan or a client is dying.
On behalf of all citizens of our dear country Ghana, we wish to say THANK YOU for all your selfless services and sacrifices to keep us in good health. We believe you SHALL once again heed or consider the CRY of your family and relatives whom you serve.
God bless you all and God bless our homeland Ghana.
