“Miss Dumas has not been appointed to any such position. I can confirm that of the rest,” he told Myjoyonline.com.

In recent weeks, Mahama’s government has made several appointments in the creative sector, including Kofi Okyere Darko as Director of Diaspora Affairs, Rex Omar as Coordinator of Black Star Experience, Abeiku Santana as Deputy CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Kafui Danku as Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority, and James Gardiner as the Deputy Executive Secretary of the same institution.

These appointments, confirmed by Kwakye Ofosu, were not officially announced on the Presidency’s social media platforms or by the Minister of Government Communications, leading to speculation.

Similar to the case of Joselyn Dumas, many of these appointments first surfaced through media reports or close associates of the appointees.

However, the announcement of her alleged appointment sparked backlash on social media, with some questioning her affiliation with the party.
