John Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Flagbearer, pledged to enhance the creative arts sector if elected president.
During a meeting with industry members on June 7, he vowed to address existing challenges and revive initiatives stalled under the current administration.
Mahama urged the government to prioritize investments in the creative sector, emphasizing his commitment to implementing solutions.
He highlighted initiatives initiated during his presidency that have been hindered. If elected, Mahama aims to improve conditions for the creative arts industry, offering reassurance and advocating for increased support from the government.
“…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.”
