The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts has strongly dismissed recent accusations levelled against the sector Minister by a social media personality.

According to the Ministry, the claims are entirely false, misleading, and calculated to tarnish the Minister’s reputation and undermine the work of the Ministry.

In a statement released over the weekend, the Ministry responded to a video making rounds on social media in which the Minister was accused of being disrespectful and unprofessional during a public engagement.

The Ministry categorically denied the allegations, describing them as “wholly unfounded and gravely misleading.”

The statement emphasised that the Minister has always conducted herself with humility, professionalism, and a high sense of responsibility.

It added that her interactions with stakeholders, industry players, and the public have been anchored on mutual respect and a shared commitment to the growth of Ghana’s tourism, culture, and creative sectors.

The Ministry noted that since assuming office, the Minister has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to promoting Ghana’s cultural heritage, supporting creatives, and enhancing the country’s global image as a leading tourism destination.

Her dedication, according to the Ministry, is evident in the successful initiatives and engagements she continues to lead across the country.

Expressing disappointment at the growing trend of misinformation online, the Ministry condemned the deliberate attempts by certain individuals to misinform the public for personal gain or social media clout.

It warned that such actions could damage reputations, discourage investment, and disrupt ongoing progress within the sector.

The Ministry called on the individual involved to issue an unqualified apology and urged the public to disregard the misleading claims. It reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, open communication, and professionalism in all dealings.

In conclusion, the Ministry encouraged all Ghanaians to support efforts aimed at preserving, promoting, and celebrating the country's rich cultural identity while upholding respect and truth in public discourse.
