Team Lead for ImageBureau, George Quaye, has expressed disappointment in John Dumelo for not responding to a comment made by the Member of Parliament for the Tolon constituency, Habib Iddrisu during his vetting.
At the vetting held on February 25, 2025, Habib advised John Dumelo, the Deputy Minister Designate for Food and Agriculture, not to treat his new job as the movie industry.
"You are not in your movie industry, try to be as serious as you can," he said.
This statement has not gone down well with most creative arts people who believe it is condescending to their trade and craft.
One such person is the Team Lead for ImageBureau, George Quaye, who has lashed out at the Member of Parliament for his comment.
During an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio, George also noted that actor-turned-politician, John Dumelo, who appeared before the Appointments Committee in Parliament, should have schooled Habib for his remark.
"I was quite a bit disappointed in my brother John Dumelo for not calling it out right there," he noted.
George Quaye felt that John Dumelo should have defended the creative sector, which made him a household name before his foray into agriculture.
"If it were me, George Quaye, I would have seized it as a perfect opportunity to make a statement for the sector that made me. The sector made me, and I would defend it," he added.
George Quaye also acknowledged the presence of smart brains in the parliamentary chamber, including A Plus, Hon Abla Dzifa Gomashie, and Hon. Sam George, who have been supportive of the creative sector.
