Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has promised the creative arts industry better conditions if he becomes the next president.
During a meeting on Friday, June 7, John Mahama assured members of the creative arts sector that he would address the various challenges they are facing.
The ex-president also specified some programs that were carried out while he was in office but have been blocked by the current administration.
John Mahama also urged the government to make investments in the creative industry.
“…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.”
