A Deputy Information Minister, Baba Jamal, has criticized the quality and content of movies produced by filmmakers in the country.
Mr. Jamal, who was speaking at a meeting with members of Ghana’s movie industry, expressed doubts about the genuineness of the lessons that were being imparted onto the society.
According to him, Ghanaian movies in recent times have degenerated into a variety of “filthy and unchallenging teaching materials which eventually pollute the minds of the vulnerable.
Mr. Jamal, who appeared to be expressing the sentiments of a section of Ghanaians, condemned what he calls explicit sexual themes in such movies and said they were offensive to the viewing public.
