Veteran broadcaster and executive member of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Daddy ‘Ahuma Ocansey’ Bosco, has urged creatives appointed to government positions to maintain regular communication with industry stakeholders through quarterly meetings.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z on May 3, 2025, Daddy Bosco emphasized the importance of staying engaged with the creative community, which he believes is crucial for effective leadership in the sector. He stated that frequent interactions would provide valuable opportunities for feedback and ensure that creative leaders are in tune with the industry's needs.

"I am saying this to our guys who have been put in leadership positions. They need to have quarterly engagements because their four-year tenure will end sooner than expected," Daddy Bosco told host Kwame Dadzie.

His comments were made while discussing the tenure of Mark Okraku-Mantey, the former Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, whose leadership, according to Daddy Bosco, lacked sufficient interaction with the creative sector. Although he acknowledged that Okraku-Mantey may have been limited by bureaucratic constraints, he criticized his failure to engage regularly with the industry's players.

"Even when he was President of the Creative Arts Council, he should have had quarterly engagements with the people," Daddy Bosco pointed out. "Human beings... sometimes if I am telling you something and you are not even acting on it, but I think you are listening to me, it’s a different vibe. That’s where you dropped the ball, brother. It was easy for you to bring us along."

Daddy Bosco’s remarks highlight the importance of bridging the gap between creative leaders and industry professionals, suggesting that such regular dialogues could have led to better collaboration and decision-making.

In a related development, President John Dramani Mahama announced that periodic meetings would be held with people from the tourism, culture, and creative arts sectors to assess their progress. This comes as part of the government's effort to foster more consistent communication and collaboration within the sector.

At the launch of the Blackstar Experience on May 1, 2025, Rex Owusu Marfo, the Coordinator of the project, revealed that one of the upcoming programs, Creative Connect, will periodically gather individuals from the cultural and creative industries for discussions on industry advancements and challenges.
