The outgoing Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority (NFA), Juliet Asante, has called on government to send her an official termination letter.
Her request is as a result of the recent appointment of actress Kafui Danku as Executive Secretary and actor James Gardiner as Deputy Executive Secretary.
In a Facebook post, Juliet expressed concerns over the lack of formal communication regarding her removal, stating that courtesy demands she receives an official letter before her successors were named.
“And while you are at it, please send me my lay-off letter. It is only respectful to both CEOs to ask the sitting to go in writing before appointing another… or isn’t it?” she wrote.
After her exit, Juliet has spoken about the challenges she faced in the role since she was appointed in 2020. She claimed the NFA existed only on paper, lacking the human resource, funds, and an office to function properly.
She also alleged that she was sexually harassed by two of her male bosses during her tenure.
Meanwhile, a petition has been submitted to the presidency by a group of creatives, calling for the removal of Kafui Danku and James Gardiner from their newly appointed roles, because they lack the required qualification and expertise.
