Chairman Wontumi claimed there was a deliberate effort under the erstwhile Mahama administration to \u2018punish\u2019 the people in the Ashanti region as the stronghold of NPP.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

He alleged that, the Mahama government made sure everything in the region including the vibrant film industry, \u2018Kumawood\u2019 collapsed.<\/p>\n

But for the NPP coming to power in 2016, he said former President Mahama would have rendered entertainers in Ghana jobless.<\/p>\n

Three year in office, Chairman Wontumi said Kumawood and the Creative Arts industry in Ghana are now vibrant due to the massive support it is enjoying under President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople in Ashanti region suffered under NDC so we are working hard to make them happy. So far we have done 80 percent of roads and we are hoping to do more\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Chairman Wontumi is confident
\nwith progress made, 2020 elections will be one touch victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
