Akua Djanie, popularly known as Akua Blakofe has stated that she is disheartened by the way affairs are being managed by top officials in the country.
Her statement follows a recent banter with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Tourist Development Company (GTDC), Kwadwo Antwi, after she sent letters to the Ministries of Health and Sanitation for a partnership towards a beach and market clean up with investors from the United States.
According to Blakofe, her request was not welcomed by both Sanitation and Health Ministry.
“I sent letters to the Ministries of Health and Sanitation as I wanted to collaborate on a beach and market clean up with my USA investors. Sanitation ddin’t reply. Health Ministry wrote that it’s not a health issue,” she revealed in a Facebook post.
The former GTDC Deputy CEO posted on her Facebook platform that the CEO called her out in an interview on Adom FM while referring to her as an ‘embarrassment’ to the institution and not knowing how to perform her roles effectively.
Obviously appalled by Kwadwo Antwi’s reaction, Akua Blakofe was of the view that, “Anyone who does not see the link between health, sanitation and tourism shouldn’t be heading either of those 3 sectors.”
Apparently, there seem to be bad blood between the two prior to Kwadwo Antwi’s interview on Adom FM as Blakofe had accused him of sidelining her in the line of her duties.
She disclosed that, he chose to work with a three-man team rather than her as his deputy.
“I don’t do anything all day. My CEO doesn’t want me in the team so he has created a three-man team he works with. Meanwhile, I don’t see what GTDC is doing. The CEO travels every month for two weeks straight. In April, he was gone for three weeks,” she bemoaned in an interview with citinewsroom.com.
Blakofe earned the spot of a Deputy CEO via President Nana Akufo-Addo's appointment in February last year after she massively campaigned for him in the 2016 general elections.
The Motivational Africanist quit her role when she realized her skills were being underutilized at GTDC, the investment and commercial wing of the Tourism Ministry.
The outspoken former TV host, however, stated she feels her life is in danger after receiving several calls threatening her to return the car and other valuables given to her by GTDC.
In another post cited by www.ghanaweb.com, she averred, “In fact with all the wahala, I no longer feel safe. I feel victimized and threatened. If anything happens to me, you all know what caused it. #TheTruth.”
Blakofe's tenure as Deputy GTDC CEO officially ends on May 31, 2018.

Don, If I read well, her resignation is effective 31st May so she is still entitled to the car till 31st May. In effect her tenure has not ended and she is supposed to had over on or before 31st May. You sought to create the impression that she is no longer at post and she is using government vehicle. Be fair to her.
It serves us right, we've lived with our party through all these years,someone just comes onboard during elections and is rewarded with a position why won't she do this to us?. We must trust our own and forget about the so called celebrities. Reward loyal party members!
“I sent letters to the Ministries of Health and Sanitation as I wanted to collaborate on a beach and market clean up with my USA investors. Sanitation ddin’t reply. Health Ministry wrote that it’s not a health issue,” she revealed in a Facebook post. NOOOOSENNSEE ,DO YOU NEED INVESTORS TO COME AND DO CLEAN UP FOR YPU. YOUR REQUEST WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT SIT FOR YOU TO USE THE PRETEXT OF DOING CLEAN UP TO BENEFIT FINANCIALLY FROM FOREIGNERS. MADAM WE DON'T NEED YOUR CLEAN UP
Her assignment terminates on 31 May 2018. She will hand over all office properties before 1 June 2018 i.e 31 May 2018 by close of business on 31 May 2018 she should hand over all office properties.
But do you need US investors to clean a beach? This girl is not serious.
Yes here they go again: the educated tribalistic Ghanaian who sees nothing good about the other tribe. If not how on earth can you come out with such an infantile statement about the nature and competent NPP government .
her tenure ends on 31/05/2018!!!!!! wait after that date if she hasnt returned the 'valuables' then you criticize her!!!!!!! ghanafuo p3 nkwasiakika too much!!!
Frankly l don't think this is the right way to go. Do you know of what you have done? With this statement if any one has a problem with you can take advantage of your statement and harm you it shall be blamed on what you have said. Please kindly report whatever issues you have to the one who offered you the job and stop this media thing you are doing,it will not help you.
Things are done wrongfully in this country. If you have resigned why should you still be using the vehicles and other 'valuables' that came with the office? It is part of create,loot and share! do the honorable thing and return every pin pertaining to that office and have your peace of mind!
