• The performers put up different acts on stage

 Patrons turning up at Alliance Francaise were held spellbound last Saturday with a well-crafted and coordinated stage show titled ‘Vorsa’ (sacrifice).

The production, choreographed by Kafui Tay, Senyo Okyere, and direct­ed by Kofi Antonio, was a combina­tion of rich Ghanaian culture, art, and music, depicting the impact of environmental pollution and climate

About 25 performers, comprising men, women and children, won the heart of viewers as they took turns to project the theme of the show put together by Tifali organisation, a group of performing art and heritage studies experts.

With colourful costumes and other eye-catching elements, the team transitioned through various narra­tives mixed with energetic tradition­al and contemporary dance moves and artistry.

Mr Kafui Tay, the Lead Choreographer, told The Spectator that illegal mining (galamsey) and other forms of environ­mental pollution remained a threat to livelihoods hence the move to create awareness with their craft.

He explained ‘Vorsa’ was to make people recognise the urgency or the ‘sacrifices’ they need to make in protecting and preserving the environment for future generations.

“We believe that our forebears left a clean environment for us but greed is making us lose it all. We have always had clean water but galamsey is threating the existence for our water bodies. So all along we have been looking at how we can add our voices to some of these pressing issues, he noted.

He said Tiffany organisation was focused on using performing arts to bring about social change and had since 2017 highlighted issues such as girl child education, women empowerment, peace and climate change and other matters of public concern.

Mr Senyo Okyere, on his part, commended Alliance Francaise for the partnership and asked the pub­lic to look out for more captivating performances in future.

Describing ‘Vorsa’ as “an inte­gral part of our social, civic and economic lives,” he believed the creative piece would stimulate au­thorities to act promptly.

Another drama titled ‘The Leg­end of Akushika’ also attracted pos­itive feedback from the audience on the night.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.

Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.

He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.

“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.

President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.

He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.

He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.

“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
