Mark Okraku-Mantey must be Questioned on the AMPHITHEATER FUNDS

In April 2023, Mark Okraku-Mantey told the Creative sector on Live Television that the monies for the Five(5) AMPHITHEATRES have been paid into our accounts by the World Bank and that by July 2023, the Kumasi one will be completed. According to his calculation, the amount for the 5 theatres should be around 3 million dollars. He stated emphatically that they’ll finish all five (5) amphitheatres by the end of 2023.

The fact is, he spoke in English, so most of our entertainment journalists understood him clearly.

Today in 2025, not even one(1) of the said amphitheatres has been completed, and so the question is, WHERE ARE THE WORLD BANK MONIES? Or did he just lie on TV?

This and many other questions are what we’re expecting our Journalists to ask him on behalf of the industry, yet some big platforms like Joy FM and Peace FM Entertainment Review seem to be rather doing Character Laundering in order to rebrand and sell him back to the industry.

Questions like how they got money for their Spanish Tours when indeed the Creative Arts Agency, Ghana, then had no Board to approve such huge funds?

The painting budget is yet to be accounted for, and once again, we expect our Journalists to ask him those important questions instead of allowing him to have the nerve to tell us who should or shouldn’t be on the radio because they are government appointees.

Who made him headmaster of the industry, or does he still think he is in Power? Such Arrogance.

While other sectors like the Energy Sector are busy chasing “flying containers” and the Education sector chasing “ghost names” out of their NSS, we are here asking irrelevant questions, so how will anyone take our industry seriously?

We must make sure ORAL, EOCO, NIB and the Office of the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice also help us clean our sector so that the next set of appointees don’t take this industry for granted.
