Group petitions Mahama to revoke appointments of Kafui Danku and James Gardener

A group calling itself the Association of Ghanaian Creatives has suggested that President John Dramani Mahama revoke the appointments of Kafui Danku and James Gardiner to the National Film Authority.

The group of arts stakeholders believes the two are not qualified for the positions they have been allocated.

A few days ago, President John Dramani Mahama appointed Kafui Danku as the Executive Secretary of the NFA, with James Gardiner as her Deputy.

However, in a petition that has so far gathered over twenty signatures, the Association of Ghanaian Creatives is requesting that the president consider other options instead.

“We, the undersigned members of the Association of Ghanaian Creatives, urge the government to appoint qualified, visionary leadership at the NFA. The institution must be helmed by a technocrat with deep industry knowledge, supported by a board of experienced creative professionals who can steer the sector toward revitalization and global competitiveness,” the petition proposed.

They have also proposed some personalities whom they believe have the skills and competence to manage the National Film Authority more effectively.
The proposed persons are:

George Bosompin (National Film Institute, GAFTA)

Jim Awindor (Film and television strategist)

Akofa Edjeani Asiedu (Veteran filmmaker and policymaker)

Professor Linus Abraham (Media and communication expert)

Akosua Abdallah (Film education and policy expert)

Ms. Nicole Amarteifio (Pioneering filmmaker and industry advocate)
