Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Media personality and entertainment pundit MC Yaa Yeboah has voiced her displeasure regarding the treatment of the creative arts sector by Ghanaian politicians.
During an appearance on UTV’s United Showbiz on November 30, 2024, she claimed that politicians disrespect the industry while depending on it to further their political agendas.
Yaa Yeboah states that politicians frequently leverage the creative arts to enhance their messages, mentioning instances such as Nacee, whose music has effectively conveyed political manifestos.
“For a long time, politicians have taken the creative arts sector for a ride. They have disrespected this sector. But the funny thing is, these politicians always run to the creative arts to trumpet their message,” she remarked.
She also voiced her dissatisfaction regarding the absence of major political positions for experts in the field.
Emphasizing the experiences of Mark Okraku-Mantey and Dzifa Gomashie, Yaa Yeboah pointed out that creative arts professionals are frequently designated as deputies, restricting their capacity to operate independently according to the constitution.
“These politicians can’t even respect us enough to make one of our own the creative arts minister. They only make people like Okraku-Mantey and Dzifa Gomashie deputies, and under the constitution, they can’t function without the permission of their bosses. Yet we always blame them because they’re the ones we are familiar with,” she explained.
