Group petitions Mahama over Kafui Danku, James Gardiner NFA appointments  

A group has formally petitioned President John Mahama regarding the recent appointments of Kafui Danku and James Gardiner to the National Film Authority (NFA). The petitioners are voicing concerns over what they perceive as a lack of qualifications and experience among the newly appointed members, suggesting that their selections could hinder the progress and development of Ghana's film industry.

The petition highlights a growing dissatisfaction within the creative community, emphasizing that these appointments should reflect individuals with proven expertise in film production and management. Advocates argue that leadership in such critical roles is essential for fostering an environment conducive to growth in Ghana’s burgeoning film sector.

The group aims to draw attention to the need for more transparent and merit-based selection processes for key positions within cultural institutions. They believe that only by prioritizing qualified personnel can Ghana's film industry thrive on both local and international stages. As discussions unfold, stakeholders hope this petition will prompt a reconsideration of these appointments and broader reforms within the NFA.
