The Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mark Okraku-Mantey, last Wednesday cut sod for the commencement of construction of the first amphitheatre in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
This is to fulfil the NPP\u2019s manifesto promise of building theatres in some selected regions in the country.<\/p>\n
This year, the government promised to build five amphitheatres; two in Accra, one in Kumasi, one in Takoradi, and one in Tamale.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony which took place at the Centre for National Culture in Kumasi, Mr. Okraku-Mantey assured Ghanaians and stakeholders in the creative sector that the project will be done on time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis amphitheatre is supposed to start any moment and by the end of July 2023, it should be ready,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The deputy minister said the amphitheatre will act as a source of venue for performances and other forms of entertainment and also aid industry players to plan for events.<\/p>\n
He tasked the contractors to ensure that there is value for money, as well as ensure strict adherence to completion timelines.<\/p>\n
The sod-cutting ceremony was graced by a number of personalities such as Kumasi Mayor Sam Pyne; Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC), Mr. Kwadwo Antwi; Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority (NFA), Juliet Yaa Asantewaa Asante, and Project Coordinator of Ghana Tourism Development Project (GTDP), Nana Sarfo Kantanka, among others.<\/p>\n
