Embittered Ghanaian filmmaker, Socrate Sarfo has hit hard at the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Honourable Abla Dzifa Gomashie.

It is already in the news that some creative art pundits are calling for the creative arts ministry to be shut down because it has failed to deliver on its mandate or make astronomical impact on the industry or stakeholders in the creative arts industry.

Speaking on Channel R’s 205 Total Entertainment, Socrate Sarfo, who is one of the showbiz personalities who campaigned for NNP candidate Nana Akufo Addo with a group name Creative Arts for Change CAC, said he will be glad if the current NDC government loses power come 2016 so that NPP will come into office.

Journalists in Ghana have been censored over the years for unprofessionalism, but, the nations funded newspaper, Daily Graphic, can boast of a number of professional young and old journalists.

However, a recent advert placed in the said newspaper caught the attention and wrath of Ghana’s Deputy Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Madam Dzifa Gomashie.

Registering her displeasure at the advert, read what the Deputy Minister posted on her Facebook wall today, 19th May, 2014 (unedited):

line-short

Daily Graphic, Thursday, May 15, 2014 Pg 42 has an advert of GIHOC. I conjecture that the person who approved the ad, the person behind the camera, the person who approved to pay for the ad are all men…I disapprove of this advert!

Daily Graphic, Monday, May 12, 2014. Pg 44 “Crack the whip on erring media houses”. ..Nana Odeasempa Antwi Obugyei of Mampong…Nana mo ne kasa

Deputy Minister for Tourism-Dzifa Gomashie Poo-Pooh Her Critics For Using Cutleries To Eat The Traditional Way Again?

On 16th April, 2014, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, madam Dzifa Gomashie, posted on her Facebook wall, a picture of herself eating ‘waakye’ in her office with fork and knife.

In her proud and elated mood, she added the below text and picture:

Tin kon kon kon tin kon!
Having lunch in the traditional and culturally aware way. The leaves add flavour and aroma plus it is biodegradable unlike “take away” and polythene bags. One love!

Dzifa Gomashie1

Critics who felt the honourable minister’s conduct smacked off inconsistency in her bid to demonstrate how culturally inclined or ‘Ghanaian’ she is, lambasted her needlessly. The main issue her critics had with her was not the fact that she ate in leaves as a minister but her use of the cutleries – the combination is a no, no, no, in the opinion of many.

Also, some think it’s ethically and professionally bankrupt for Hon. Dzifa Gomashie to eat lunch at her office desk. It raises question of, doesn’t the ministry have a staff common room or an isolated room solely meant for eating at the ministry.

How would the Hon minister feel if a very important Diplomat or personality visited her just after she finished eating the ‘waakye’ – as the smell of the ‘waakye’ reeked the whole office? Or what if some of the oil from the stew in the ‘waakye’ dripped and soiled an official document which has already been signed on behalf of Ghana and another foreign donor, Diplomat or country?

As though the honourable minister wants to tease her critics who critiqued her for using cutleries to eat as a proponent and an advocate of our culture, see the picture and text she posted on her Facebook wall today 5th May, 2014:
