The Deputy Minister of Arts, Culture, and Tourism, Mark Okraku-Mantey, has expressed concern about pundits who are young in the industry and criticizing the veterans.
According to him, those critics had no experience and were not technically grounded to even provide advice to those who are experts.
Okraku-Mantey threw this shade when he expressed his concern about the current pundits who are behaving like experts in a media interview.
“In Ghana and the creative industry, you would see somebody who has done just one job advising Okraku-Mantey with 8-year album achievement. It is the beginners who are advising the veterans.”
“Why? It must change. I am a role model to your model, and if I am a role model to your model, if you have not done any projects in your arts, how would you appreciate my pain, but you are given the microphone to advise me?” he said.
Okraku-Mantey maintained that those pundits were too young to even know the right and wrongs to advise him and warned them to desist from the act.
He said he was a master in his game and had garnered lots of experiences to know the “nooks and crannies” of the industry to be advised by those who barely understood how things were in the industry.
