He continued to list the good number of works the NDC government has done and offered for the Creative Arts Industry.
“President Mahama in his effort in making the movie industry lucrative just like America, Nigeria and South Africa’s, Mahama through the creative arts industry has sponsored about 70 percent of our movie stars to travel outside the country to equip themselves with deep knowledge and learn ways to upgrade the movie industry.
Not only that, Mr Mahama since the beginning of his presidency has been taking very good care of veteran musicians and music stars in their old age”, he added.
In other reports, Mr Beautiful was quoted to have attributed the collapse of the Kumawood movie industry to unprofessional acts.
