Failatu Abdul Razak, a well-known Executive Chef from Ghana, revealed yesterday that her attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon was not successful.
Ghanaians are expressing discontent over recent news that some of their participants have been disqualified from a competition. Many believe that there may be an underlying agenda at play, especially given the questionable basis on which Afua Asantewaa’s attempt was also disqualified.
However, a statement released by revered Ghanaian broadcaster, Kafui Dey, who also served as the coordinator of the GWR cook-a-thon attempt has revealed the reasons why Chef Faila failed in her attempt.
According to him, Chef Faila violated the rest of break rules.
The statement read:
“The attempt, which captivated audiences worldwide, unfortunately, fell short of meeting the stringent guidelines set forth by Guinness World Records.
A statement from the Records Management Team cited a violation of the rest break rules, resulting in an unsuccessful attempt.“
This frequent disqualification has raised eyebrows on whether Ghanaians should keep pushing for the price.
