Accra: Ghanaian comedian DKB has asserted that his colleague Lekzy DeComic should have waited for the current NDC administration to complete 8 years in office before comparing its record in the comedy industry to the past NPP government.
According to Ghana Web, DKB was reacting to comments by Lekzy DeComic that the previous NPP administration paid more attention to comedians than the current government. DKB noted in a post shared on Instagram that although he believes Lekzy did not mean any harm with his comments, he thinks the assessment would have been more balanced if it were made after the NDC had also spent eight years in government, just as the previous administration did. He stressed that it would be unfair to compare the NDC's less than two years in office to the previous government's eight-year tenure.
DKB said he would personally ensure that Lekzy assesses the government's support for the creative industry after the NDC has completed its eight-year tenure, expressing confidence that the current administration would ultimately come out on top. He explained that, in his view, the NDC pays attention to everyone and has so far provided the highest financial allocation to the creative arts.
However, DKB also acknowledged and applauded the work done by the previous administration at the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), particularly under the leadership of Akwasi Agyemang, whom he described as his former boss. According to him, the authority did tremendous work during that period and was responsive to the concerns of people within the creative industry.
