Mark Okraku should shut up! He made zero impact as Deputy Minister

During a conversation on United Showbiz , the subject of Okraku-Mantey’s hesitance to show up on the show was raised. He allegedly accepts that the program has moved its concentration from showbiz to politics issues and other irrelevant issues.

This position set off changed responses from the panellists , including media personality Nana Aba Anamoah, who emphatically condemned the previous , Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture. She blamed him for neglecting to resolve critical issues in entertainment outlets during his residency in office.

Beforehand, on Peace FM’s Entertainment Review , Okraku-Mantey recommended renaming United Showbiz , contending that the program as of now not fixated on showbiz conversations.

When host Kwasi Aboagye asked when he would consider appearing on the show, Okraku-Mantey responded:

When we have proper conversations. Do you know that show is no longer about showbiz? You need to change its name. I don’t have a problem with the show. When the ethics work over there, I’ll come. Now, I don’t know where I will fit in.

Reacting to his remarks, Nana Aba Anamoah did not hold back, asserting that he had no moral right to criticise the show for addressing industry-related matters, especially when he had failed to enact meaningful change while in a position of influence.

He said there are issues in the entertainment industry. How did he deal with them when he was a radio presenter for so many years? What impact did he make? He was given a position where he could have improved the industry, but what did he achieve? Absolutely nothing. He sounds better when he stays silent. He shouldn’t comment on the industry when he has contributed nothing, she remarked, visibly frustrated.

Additionally, when the show’s host, Empress Gifty, introduced Okraku-Mantey as “honourable,” Nana Aba swiftly objected, saying,

He is not an honourable. Don’t give people titles they don’t deserve. He is not a Member of Parliament. He has never been

A video of the discussion has since circulated online, sparking mixed reactions. While some supported Nana Aba’s statements, others criticised her tone, with some even questioning whether she had a personal issue with Okraku-Mantey.
