Government struggling to finish one(1) Amphitheater out of the nine(9) Theater Manifesto Promise. Focap has seen pictures and videos of a yet to be completed Amphitheater being constructed in Kumasi, and it’s quite unfortunate how this government doesn’t take the Creative Art sector seriously. As we’re all aware, this government in their 2016 manifesto promised the Creative Arts Sector Nine(9) Ultramodern Theaters if they win the elections. We’re in March, 2024 that’s 8years after elections and officially their last term in office, and they are yet to complete even one(1) single theatre. Last year, in April 2023, the Deputy Minister of Arts Mr Mark Okraku Mantey informed the industry that they were unable to build the ultramodern THEATERS, but they would rather commission one(1) AMPHITHEATER in Kumasi in July 2023. This morning we’ve seen videos and pictures of a supposed Amphitheater in Kumasi, which is still at the digging, filling, and concrete level. It’s obvious that this governme...

A 5 MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT PULLED DOWN.                                                         .      Sometimes, l wonder if truly the system truly believes in the creative arts sector or if they just pay us with lip service.   I am assuming the government is not in the know of this disgraceful act done to one of our biggest investors in the entertainment industry, Mr Leslie Quaynor, CEO of Fantasy Entertainment, limited (Fantasy Dome). The demolition of Fantasy Dome at Trade Fair last Saturday is unfortunate and sad for the industry.  Documents I have cited indicate an interlocutory injunction not to touch the property until the final process or decision by the court.  A 5 million dollar investment project that will cost almost 25 million dollars currently is totally demolished without  any fear of m...

This Foolish gbemiPunditry MUST STOP. By Mr. Enock Agyepong (radio pundit and CEO of Speech Production An Artist from Ghana is contracted to Open an All African Games being Hosted in Ghana and for some foolish reason we have pundits insulting and disrespecting the Artist whiles the Organizers are appreciating the Performance of the Artist. We always know of the fan base rivalry in Gh but we’ve always advocated that as soon as we go beyond Ghana we must go as a united front instead of exhibiting such foolishness beyond borders. Yes your favorite Artist was not invited and instead of you finding out whether he was available or not you decided to rather exhibit ur useless local foolishness. This tournament is not about Ghana but Africa so let’s stop this gyimee of always criticizing senselessly to the detriment industry. If the Artist responds in equal measure you’ll see the number of gbemi pundits who will get angry but these same pundits are quiet whiles the brand in being insulted. If ...
