The NPP flagbearer hopeful condemned local movies that feature sorrowful content and urged stakeholders in the entertainment industry to be steadfast in their pursuit to make quality production.

He made the remark when quizzed on what he would do to help uplift the creative arts industry if elected as president of the nation.

Speaking in an interview with Bola Ray on Starr FM which GhanaWeb monitored on Thursday, October 5, 2023, Kennedy Agyapong asserted that Sarkodie’s quality of packaging and presentation of music videos is what the country needs to project and compete at the international level.

“Sarkodie, when you see his videos especially packaging and presentation [of music videos], that kind of thing is what we need to portray Ghana as a developed country that we have also arrived. We don’t have to always be doing ‘Agyei Mawu oo’ (weeping and mourning) in movies all the time,” said Kennedy Agyapong.

Kennedy Agyapong hopes to become the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party as he contests against Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Minister of Food and Agriculture Dr. Afriyie Akoto and former legislator Francis Addai Nimo.
