Gyankroma packed everything out of Creative Arts Agency office when leaving – Kwasi Aboagye alleges

Ghanaian broadcaster, Kwasi Aboagye, has alleged that the office of the Creative Arts Agency, previously headed by Gyankroma Akufo-Addo, has been emptied, with the real owners of the building taking over.

Speaking on the Peace FM Entertainment Review, Kwasi Aboagye claimed that Gyankroma, the daughter of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, removed everything from the office when she left, because she was said to have personally furnished the building.

He said the real owners of the building, the Bureau of Languages, have also reclaimed their property.

“The Creative Arts Agency was established in 2020 under Act 1048 during Akufo-Addo’s government. Gyankroma Akufo-Addo was in charge of the sector at that time till her father left office. Initially, their office was located near the Jubilee House, but later they were moved to another office in Kanda.

“Now, unfortunate reports are coming in, stating that since Gyankroma Akufo-Addo personally spent her own money to furnish that office, and now that her father is no longer in power and she is no longer the head of the Creative Arts Agency, she has packed everything out of the office. The real owners of the building, the Bureau of Languages, have also reclaimed their property,” he stated.

Seeing this as unacceptable, Kwasi Aboagye has questioned why the Creative Arts Agency, whose existence is backed by law, should have its office ‘cleared’ in such a manner.

“If we are in a country where the law allows us to establish an agency, and we do, is it right to pack everything out just because a particular government is leaving power?” he questioned.

To him, this development is a reflection of how Akufo-Addo’s administration treated the creative arts sector.

“I will say it as it is; if you tell me I’m doing politics, I don’t care. This is a result of how Akufo-Addo treated the creative arts sector. His government couldn’t provide for the agency, and it was his daughter who had to spend her own money to furnish the office, only to take everything back when she leaves? What kind of country is this?” he queried.
