John Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
Flagbearer, vowed to enhance the creative arts sector if elected president.
Amidst a meeting with
industry members on June 7, he vowed to address existing challenges and revive
initiatives stalled under the current administration.
Mahama urged the
government to prioritize investments in the creative sector, emphasizing his
commitment to implementing solutions.
He underscored initiatives
initiated during his presidency that have been hindered. If elected, Mahama
aims to improve conditions for the creative arts industry, offering reassurance
and advocating for increased support from the government.
“…we are going to find those solutions
together. In the past we have tried to assist. We assisted to provide cars to
some of you because some of you really were using trotro and other things to go
around and so to protect your dignity, we asked the Ministry of Tourism to
procure some cars fand distribute to you and it was just the first phase and we
were going to do it in phases.
“Unfortunately, we left
office and that programme has not been continued and I also hear that some of
the cars were seized from you and I think it’s unfortunate,” Mahama told
members of the creative arts sector in a meeting.
He continued: “Nkrumah
believed in creative arts and he put money in the creative arts and I believe
that government must put money into the creative arts.”
