Ghanaian actress, Kafui Danku has said the next National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration will set up a Creative Arts Fund to support industry players.
In this regard, she has called on her colleagues to support and vote for the NDC flagbearer John Mahama on December 7 to revamp the industry.
Kafui announced this while speaking at the NDC Youth manifesto launch in Accra on Monday at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
“A creative arts fund will be instituted to offer sustainable financial support to start-ups and existing creative enterprises. The upcoming elections is an opportunity for the creative people to choose a government that cares, a government that would invest in their development,” Kafui stated.
Additionally, she pledged the establishment of a world class filming studio to upgrade content to match up with global class.
“The NDC government plans to empower young artistes and facilitate the export of culture and artistic growth and services. John Mahama would also set up a world class studio where we can film quality content to match up with global content,” she added.
The Akufo-Addo led government had pledged to set up a similar fund to provide financial support for artists alongside the construction of theatres in Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale.
However, after almost eight years in power, these promises have not been fulfilled.
