Deputy Minister of Culture, Nat Banini, has raised concerns about the performance of his colleague, Mark Okraku-Mantey, in his role as deputy minister.
In a recent interview, Banini posed the question, “What have you done as a deputy minister?” seemingly challenging Okraku-Mantey to account for his achievements in the position.
While Banini did not provide specific examples of Okraku-Mantey’s alleged lack of accomplishments, his question has sparked discussions about the effectiveness of the deputy minister and the overall performance of the Ministry of Culture.
Okraku-Mantey, a prominent figure in the creative arts industry, was appointed as deputy minister by President Nana Akufo-Addo in 2021.
His appointment was met with mixed reactions, with some expressing optimism about his potential impact on the sector, while others questioned his qualifications for the position.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how Okraku-Mantey will respond to Banini’s challenge and address the criticisms of his tenure as deputy minister.
