Samini slams partisan spin on GTA office visit, breaks silence on rumours

Reggae dancehall icon Samini has addressed the buzz around his recent trip to the Ghana Tourism Authority office. On  Prime Time with George Quaye, he dismissed claims that his visit secured him special favours or political perks.
