Veteran Ghanaian actor, Fred Amugi
Veteran Ghanaian actor Fred Amugi has called on newly appointed creatives in government to seize the opportunity to push for the changes they long advocated for while outside of power.
Speaking in an interview with Hitz FM, Amugi noted that many of the complaints these entertainers voiced in the past about the lack of support for theatre and filmmaking must now be addressed from within the corridors of power.
“The complaints that they have giving before because people were not taking a second look at our theatre and our filmmaking, now that they are sitting there, what they used to complain about, this is the time to push and let it happen,” he said.
Amugi’s remarks come amid a growing trend of Ghanaian entertainers transitioning into political and governance roles.
Notable names include radio personality Abeiku Santana, who has been appointed to the Ghana Tourism Authority, and Kafui Danku, who is the Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority.
