Indeed, when FOCAP started during the NPP era, many thought they were in to do politics, but their lenses were still focused on seeing a good change within the sector.
Hitting hard on the illegalities happening within, during the NPP era, and yet then Ministry sat on and never boarded until the new government, the NDC came to power.
A listening government, the NDC has quickly done the needful.
1- corrected the illegality of a private website purported to be the agency website.
2- changed the double standard logo identity for a state agency and a private entity.
3- Appointment of a legal Executive Secretary.
FOCAP believes the system is working, and the resetting agenda is active.
FOCAP has fought very hard during the NPP era to see the best happened within the creative arts sector. They advocated for the appointment of a legal executive secretary since the act 2020,act1048 demanded the president in accordance with article 195 to appoint an executive secretary. The then NPP government left Gyankroma Akuffo Addo to occupy the seat illegally, FOCAP threatened to go on a demonstration to see the appointment of a legal executive secretary and a board to run the affairs of the agency, raised an issue of double standard logo identity for the government agency and a private entity and many other illegalities.
FOCAP, thank the current team at the Ministry of Tourism Culture and Creative Arts and the current Executive Secretary, Gideon Aryeequaye, for quick responses to the inefficiencies and illegalities.
FOCAP urged all within the creative sector to come together. Let’s work together to build a better creative economy.
