Well-known Ghanaian musician, Okyeame Kwame seems to have politely turned down an offer as an official member of the New Patriotic Party’s Manifesto Committee for Tourism, Arts and Culture.
Yesterday, Okyeame Kwame was mentioned among the 15 members of the New Patriotic Party’s Manifesto Committee for tourism, arts and culture.
However, just before congratulations pour in for Okyeame Kwame, he released a press statement today, insinuating that he is non-partisan and not politically affiliated to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“I wish to reassure my respected following and reiterate that I remain non-partisan and apolitical, as I have been throughout my entire career. I have not been paid by H.E. The Vice President’s campaign team to be a member of the committee for the arts and tourism manifesto nor have I officially been invited on my terms as non-partisan participant.
“Indeed, when it comes to contributing policy opinion towards the advancement of the Arts and Culture in Ghana, I am respectfully open to all political or ideological persuasions, be they NPP, NDC, CPP, Independent or other, that may want me to openly and sincerely lend my knowledge to develop this nobel industry,” portion of the statement reads.
The sub-committee falls under the broader umbrella of tourism, arts, and culture and is chaired by Juliet Yaa Asantewaa Asante, the Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority (NFA), and Akwasi Agyemang, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA).
Other notable members include former Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Catherine Abelema Afeku, Dr. Ama Boafo-Arthur, Prof. Issahatu Adam, and Claudia Lumor, the founder of the Glitz Style Awards.
The composition of this sub-committee reflects a diverse range of expertise and experience within the realms of culture, tourism, and the arts.
This significant appointment was conveyed through an official statement signed by the Communications Director of the campaign team of Vice President Dr. Bawumia, who currently holds the flagbearer position for the NPP.
