Kwaku Manu School
Kwaku Manu has been a school proprietor for years now. He owns Kwaku Manu Educational Complex located in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
However, the actor accused parents and some people of sabotage after he claimed they were removing their kids from the school just because he traveled to the USA with his family.
Speaking about the issue with the media, Kwaku Manu said:
“Would you believe that all of the parents whose children attend my school have removed their children from the school because I flew my family to the United States? I was under the impression that I had used school funds to fund my trip. Will you believe that the school is even indebted to me? “I used my own money (GHC10,000) to repair their bus before I traveled,” he told the media, adding that “meanwhile, despite the fact that many of the parents owe the school, they were even allowed to move to the next term regardless.”
Despite the challenges, the Kwaku Manu Educational Complex still stands, and hundreds of students are enrolled.
