Entrepreneur and National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Okaikoi Central, Baba Sadiq, has advised entertainment industry stakeholders to stop criticizing Deputy Tourism Minister, Mark Okraku-Mantey over unmet expectations.
In an interview on Daybreak Hitz, Baba Sadiq attributed the creative industry’s slow progress to inadequate government support rather than Okraku-Mantey’s efforts.
He highlighted that Okraku-Mantey’s efforts are insufficient without presidential backing and overall government support.
“People should stop picking on Mark specifically because they have issues with him; they need to direct their concerns at the government. There is no strong will from the government to develop and enable the creative industry. The big vision, bold ideas, and initiatives are missing,” he stated.
Baba Sadiq further explained that, Mr. Okraku-Mantey’s limitations as a deputy Minister, emphasizing the need to hold the President accountable for unfulfilled promises to the creative industry.
“He can’t do anything. He’s a deputy minister. People like to pick on him, but they should talk to the President directly. They should say, ‘Chief, in the past eight years, you’ve made twenty-one promises to us. You haven’t delivered on them.’
“What is happening? Speak about these issues instead of blaming Mark for his inability to deliver,” Baba Sadiq added.
