Hon Catherine Afeku, The Minister for Tourism and Creative Arts has made statements about the Ghana movie industry. She stated that the government is willing to help the movie industry grow. She made these statements during the \u2018See Ghana, Eat Ghana, Wear Ghana, Feel Ghana\u2019 campaign.<\/p>\n
She spoke about Yvonne Nelson’s petition whereby she\u00a0called on stakeholders of the industry to sign a petition to the government in order to revive the collapsing movie industry.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve met her and it is a good proposal; I don\u2019t call it petition. It is a proposal, to get the government to see the potential in the movie industry,\u201d she stated.
\nHowever, she was quick to point out the onus did not lay on just the government; the movie makers had their roles to play to help the industry. \u201cWe can only do but to support to create a vibrant industry. But they have to be competitive. It is not free for all. The movies have to be sharp using technology, and the storyline cannot be repetitive and boring,\u201d she admonished.<\/p>\n
These statements by the minister are laudable and we hope that we would see more action by the ministry. The creative arts department of her ministry must not be left out of any policy and funding.<\/p>\n
