Ghanaian film maker and Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority, Kafui Danku, has broken silence on a petition that sought to revoke her appointment to the film agency.
In a change.org petition, an unknown group called Association of Ghana Creatives requested that President John Dramani rather considered other options.
According to them, Kafui and her Deputy Executive Secretary James Gardiner, lacked the competence to handle those positions.
Responding to the issue on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z, Kafui told the host Kwame Dadzie that she was unfazed about the action.
"When I saw it I called James. When I called James he burst out with a very huge laughter. He said 'Kafui, sleep' and I laughed. But I want to believe strongly that whoever did that may not be from our fraternity.
But there is a name but I believe that whoever did that, if it is true she must have done that with some really clueless people. A lot of people were surprised that that could even come up. So there are no names. I don't even think they belong to our fraternity," she said.
Kafui Danku, who assumed office as the Executive Secretary about a month ago, has since been engaging stakeholders of the film industry to lay the foundation for the proper take-off of her administration.
She has has expressed optimism in the revival of the film industry in Ghana.
“When we grant interviews addressing our problems in the industry, apart from reviving the cinema culture, we also talk mainly about funding and distribution. It runs across most of the interviews; at least 99% of the interviews we grant when we talk about the challenges we are facing. So we want to work towards getting the film fund, and also I am gonna get the industry working again,” she told the host Kwame Dadzie.
In the meantime, she has, through a press release, informed film practitioners to register with the authority for their licences to enable classification of their films.
