Wiyaala, a Ghanaian singer, wants the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) to explain their rules about celebrities advertising alcohol clearly.
In an interview on TV3, Wiyaala stated her grounds on the FDA’s guidelines are unclear and people are confused.
She stated that there’s a difference between promoting something and influencing people, which is not clear in the FDA’s rules.
Wiyaala advises the FDA should create rules and regulations instead of completely banning celebrities from advertising alcohol.
Wiyaala believes this would be a better approach than a total ban.
“I personally don’t want to be a brand ambassador for alcohol because there’s a fine line between influence and promotion… influence is more of an action from my point and promoting is a more of a choice.
FDA should really come out with rules and regulations instead of just banning. They should come up and just explain into details why,” she noted on Monday, June 24.
