NDC’s respect for creatives makes me jealous – Socrate Sarfo

Former Director for Creative Arts at the National Commission on Culture, Socrate Sarfo, has admitted that he always gets jealous of his colleagues in the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

According to him, the NDC government has shown that they have enough respect for creatives and not just academically inclined.

The staunch New Patriotic Party member said when his party was in power, they never respected creatives.

He said they were looked at in a very condescending manner by their people so much such that, they were not considered for any influential positions.

However, the NDC has since proven that they believe creatives have something innate that will help the country’s development.

Socrate Sarfo was speaking on Kalsoume Sinare’s appointment as Ambassador to Spain by the president.

”I get jealous of my colleagues in the NDC. Their people have shown that they acknowledge their depth as creatives and are making good use of it. Our people, on the other hand, will look at you in a very condescending manner, thinking they are better than you.

“We had the creatives who could do an excellent job, but they were overlooked just because they claimed they don’t have degrees,” he said while speaking on Accra-based Okay FM.
