Power struggle in Actors Guild killing industry – Fred Amugi

Veteran Ghanaian actor, Fred Amugi, expressed frustration over prolonged litigation surrounding the leadership of the Actors Guild of Ghana, impeding industry growth.

Since the 2016 death of President Eddie Coffie, elections for new executives have stalled, leaving the guild leaderless.

Amugi emphasized the need for functional leadership to manage industry affairs and support actors' welfare.

He urged resolution of internal conflicts to revitalize the sector.

Highlighting the decline in productivity and quality due to power struggles, Amugi praised Akwaaba Magic for supporting Ghanaian films.

He stressed the necessity for industry collaboration to compete with Nigeria's advanced film sector, advocating for quality-driven production.
