Kalyppo not good for adults – Chief of Staff

05:23 - 20 October 2016

The comment of Julius Debrah comes after a picture of the NPP’s Presidential nominee sipping Kalyppo fruit juice was made public. This brought about a social media challenge called 'Kalypo challenge' which caught on with a number of people.

Chief of Staff Julius Debrah has advised Ghanaian adults to desist from taking Kalyppo fruit juice as well as other sweet fruit juice because it is not good for their health.

He was addressing supporters of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Wenchi in the Brong Ahafo Region.

He said that such fruit juice is meant for children.

“I am pleading with you that you the adults here if you take Kalyppo, the sugar content can leave you with some sickness so please don’t take it.”

The comment of Debrah comes after a picture of the NPP’s Presidential nominee sipping Kalyppo fruit juice was made public. This was meant to possibly mock Nana Akuffo Addo but it interestingly started a social media challenge.

The challenge which is named ‘KalypoChallenge’ caught on with a number of people believed to be pro-NPP.

NPP executives and bigwigs also took part in the challenge in their bid to show support to Nana Addo.

At a time when the social media frenzy surrounding the Kalyppo challenge is gradually waning the Chief of Staff has reignited the issue with this comment.
