Fil producer Socrate Safo
Film maker, Socrate Sarfo says he always gets jealous of his colleagues in the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He says the government has shown that they have enough respect for creatives and not just bookish individuals.
The New Patriotic Party supporter said when his party was in power, the party never respected creatives.
He said they were looked at in a very condescending manner by their people so much such that they were not considered for any influential positions.
However, the NDC has since taking over proven that they believe creatives have something innate which will help the country’s development.
Socrate Sarfo was speaking on Kalsoume Sinare’s appointment as Ambassador to Spain by the president.
”I get jealous of my colleagues in the NDC. Their people have shown that they acknowledge their depth as creatives and are making good use of them. Our people on the other hand will look at you in a very condescending manner thinking they are better than you. We had the creatives who could do excellent jobs but they were overlooked just because they claim they don’t have degrees,” he said while speaking on Accra-based Okay FM.
