So .D.Or ) to fill the question bellow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKumkum Baagya is a popular watched TV series \u2026\u2026\u2026..I don\u2019t watch. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>The question sparked controversy as a section of the public believed the examiners shouldn\u2019t have set question on Kumkum Bhagya TV program given that  there are more salient questions that should have been set.<\/p>\n<p>Recently the leading actors in the Kumkum Bhabya series were in Ghana where fans were being charged GHC600 to have dinner with the stars.<\/p>\n<p>But speaking at an event, the Minister of Communications, Ursula Owusu Ekuful urged Ghanaians to be proud of our culture and further called for the development of more local content to be aired on TV to showcase the Ghanaian way of life to the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the conclusion of this forum to guide the policy implementation especially in the creation of content. Africa also very rich culture and this is our opportunity to showcase what we have to the rest of the world. We should not always be consumers of contents produced in other jurisdiction but also be proud of what we have and sell our culture, our lifestyle, our belief to the rest of the world. For us in Ghana, I was trying very hard not to mention any programme, so let my apologize to \u2026I don\u2019t even know what station broadcast it. The DTT Platform  should not just be a platform to showcase Kumkum Byagya.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 26 updated by: 26 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 19 December 2017 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2017-12-19 Ursula Owusu Ekuful Minister of Communications, Ursula Owusu Ekuful, has slammed the continuous airing of the popular Indian series Kumkum Bhagya on television.
