“Focus On The Show Not The Budget Allocated For It”- Catherine Afeku

Minister of Tourism and Creative Arts, Catherine Afeku talks about the upcoming AFRIMA. She specifically spoke about the budget of the show. Moreover, she stated that calls to disclose the amount of money the government invested in hosting the event is unnecessary.

Afeku spoke about this in an interview on Hitz FM’s ‘Daybreak Hitz’. Andy Dosty asked about the budget. However, Madam Afeku described the question as “irrelevant”. According to her, the call for her to disclose the budget is just like asking musician D-Black, the amount he received for performing at the Kundum Festival as an artist and categorically stated that such calls are totally lame.

However, she used the opportunity to speak to Ghana’s entertainment industry players. According to her, those who seek for money accountability from the creative arts industry need to focus on making the show a success. Moreover, that was more important than concerning about its budget.
