Afrobeats and highlife musician, Kelvyn Boy, has criticized Deputy Minister for Creative Arts, Mark Okraku-Mantey, suggesting that he should not have accepted the position if he couldn’t effectively advocate for the creative arts sector.
In an earlier Tweet, the singer slammed Mr Okraku-Mantey for going off the radar since he became a Deputy Minister.
But a fan tried defending Mark by replying, “Kelvynboy, he is a deputy minister and he can’t do anything. Even if he wants to bring up something to help the creative industry, it’ll have to go through channels first. What if they disagree? Deputy ministers don’t really do any work.”
Mark Okraku Mantey, has served as Dr Ibrahim Mohammed Awal’s deputy since 2021. Prior, he was the President of the Creative Arts Council (2017).
