Ghanaian actress, Kafui Danku is optimistic that the Ghanaian movie sector will experience a significant increase if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) emerges victorious in the upcoming general election scheduled for 7 December 2024.
Kafui, a self-proclaimed NDC member, explained to Hitz FM’s Doreen Avio that the Ghanaian film industry’s development has been hindered by numerous obstacles.
She mentioned that these difficulties have been ongoing for some time, but she remains hopeful that with the NDC in power, improvements will be seen.
“Funding and distribution have always been a challenge but it has gotten worse; it has declined some more and I was hoping it would be better. But if we all stop putting in effort or kill our passions, it’s never going to get any better, so let’s just get back to work, still do our part and try to maybe step up or do something different and see if something different will happen.
“I’m still hopeful that it can get better, especially when my party wins. When the NDC is back in power, it will get better,” she told Doreen Avio.
The director mentioned that she has a lot of faith in John Dramani Mahama, the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress, because his plans show great potential for the arts sector.
“I have been following a lot of John Mahama’s campaign, his posts and everything. I see how passionate he is about our industry. I’ve heard him talk about how he can’t wait for us to enjoy 5G so we can create our content.
He has plans for us. I am sure you’ve seen in the news how he has supported some old actors and all that. You can tell that he has some passion for the arts and even for the people who paved the way and are not working; he still has them at heart. So I know definitely when he’s back in power, he’s going to do something to make it better,” she said.
She also mentioned that the economic situation for citizens has not been favorable under the New Patriotic Party.
