Minister of Information John Akologo Tia, has denied that the Cinematograph Exhibition Board of Control has anything to do with an alleged leakage of movies sent to it for preview and classification.
In a terse response statement signed on his behalf as president of the Cinematograph Board, the minister made reference to an article posted on the internet at GhanaCelebrities.Com which claimed that “someone from the Censorship Board has been leaking Shirley Frimpong Manso’s movies before they come out”.
Prior to the minister’s statement, the news about the supposed leakage had been making the rounds in local showbiz circles. Indeed movie director Shirley Frimpong Manso herself had been on radio to talk about it.
She told Kwasi Aboagye on Peace Fm’s Entertainment Review programme that she was very upset when her office had information that some people had obtained copies of her Adams Apples Chapter 3 before it was released on the market.
