According to Sammy Gyamfi, the National Democratic Congress's (NDC) director of communications, Ghana's creative arts sector is extinct. He believes that the music industry is the only area of the creative arts that is still thriving, and that's because musicians are making investments in their own careers. Sammy Gyamfi revealed this while he appeared on United Showbiz in Accra. "The industry of the creative arts is extinct. The music sector is the only area of the creative arts that is flourishing, and even that is due to the musicians' own hard work. "Kyekyekule is dead, aside from that concert party," he declared.
"There was a specific policy framework which allowed these things to thrive," he added. Today's Santos and ODs are nowhere to be seen. Where is the drama now? In terms of our creative arts, we have lost a great deal. Because we have the skills and resources to make the industry an enviable one, we can perform better than we are now, and it is the government's responsibility to implement the appropriate policies to support the sector. This is what will occur, though, if your government is indifferent to its artists and only gives the creative arts sector lip service.
