‘I have not been appointed by President Mahama to any office’ – Joselyn Dumas debunks rumours

Actress and film producer Joselyn Dumas has dismissed reports suggesting she has been appointed Deputy Director of Diaspora Affairs under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration.

Dumas clarified that she has never worked at the Diaspora Affairs Office and has not been appointed to any government position, describing the reports circulating online as false.

She made the clarification during an interview after the host congratulated her on what he believed was her appointment, praising her for representing women in leadership.

However, Dumas quickly corrected the impression, insisting that she was neither a deputy director nor a government appointee.

“No, I’m not the deputy director. I work as an actress and a producer,” she said.

When the host asked whether she had resigned from the office, the actress responded that she had never worked there in the first place.

She also questioned the source of the appointment reports, saying she had not seen any such announcement on her social media platforms.

The host explained that an appointment graphic bearing her image had been circulating online, with some supporters reportedly welcoming the development.

Dumas, however, maintained that she had no association with the Diaspora Affairs Office and was focused on her work in the entertainment industry.

“I don’t work with the Diaspora Office. I’m a producer, I’m an actress, and I’m here to promote my movie,” she added.

Despite rejecting the purported appointment, Dumas used the conversation to share her understanding of leadership, saying it was not limited to holding public office or occupying prominent positions.

She explained that people could make meaningful contributions through their everyday actions, particularly by guiding and supporting younger people.

According to her, using her public platform and personal experiences to encourage young people to become better versions of themselves is one of the ways she contributes to society.

“My life is an example of, you know, you can still be in the limelight and still give back and do things for people. And that’s leadership,” she said.
