Veteran actor Fred Amugi has called on creatives who have been appointed to various positions in government to make the creative sector more productive.
Speaking to Doreen Avio, the actor admonished that plans are put in place to project Ghana’s creative sector.
According to him, these leaders should ensure that they address all the issues they complained about when they were not in government.
“What they used to complain about, this is the time to push and let it happen. Gone were the days when getting even one reporter to talk about a pending play was a problem,” he said.
He also highlighted that just like the developed countries, Ghana’s creative sector could be on the global frontlines if similar strategies are adopted.
“The so-called concepts that we're talking about are the very things that have made America, India, and Nigeria what it is today because the man on the stage, the man before the camera is telling a story of nature,” he added.
The actor further urged creatives to collectively help build the dream of achieving a better place for the sector.
“Everybody must put his hand on the wheel, especially the James Gardiner's, the Kafui, and co, this is the time to put things we all used to talk about negatively to make them positive,” he said.
Adjetey Anang said this on the sidelines of the launch of 'Ghana Must Go' an upcoming theatre project by Latif Abubakar's Globe Productions.
