Creative Arts Industry infiltrated with partisan politics - Sam George

Ghanaian politician Sam George believes that the country’s Creative Arts industry is been infiltrated with partisan politics.

According to him, this situation has put the industry in a position where support from corporate bodies and government is not adequate.

In an interview on Starr Chat yesterday, the Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram constituency stated that some members of the arts space are hypocrites and are of their political ambitions than the improvement of the industry.

According to the MP, when parties fail to fulfil their promises "and we ask questions in the lead up to the election, you still have these same creative arts people come and defend it because even though the Theaters have been built, maybe he's gotten some contract so he is comfortable in his own shoes".

He continued that “so it's because we don't have the creative arts industry beginning to hold the government to account because they are playing politics, this one wants to be the shining star so that when they come they will you minister of Creative Arts and Culture".
