CEO of the Exclusive Men of the Year (EMY) Awards, Kojo Soboh, is concerned about what he considers to be a bad attitude to work in Ghana.
According to him, this is affecting the quality of productions in the entertainment industry and making it difficult to achieve the excellence anticipated. He made these comments in a yet-to-be-aired interview with Amelley Djosu on Celeb Biz.
He described the work attitude of Ghanaians as “terrible.”
Mr. Soboh indicated that the bad working attitudes have heaped extra burden on him as he has to micromanage every aspect of any production he leads.
He said that without an eagle-eye on the production crew, especially the local artisans, one’s production may flop.
The Executive Director of EMY Africa added that it is disappointing when some people appear to be urgently in need of a job but become non-compliant and slack once they get it. The event planner narrates how he always has to be present to make sure work is done well. He was concerned about the fact that some people may not have the strength he has to be able to control and supervise their businesses like he does.
The EMY Awards Africa is one of the most successful and excellent platforms in Ghana. Mr. Soboh said this did not come easily, as he was made to be involved in the nitty-gritty of the production.
“It’s terrible, and if you are just one person, you can’t be everywhere, but unfortunately, you have to be everywhere in order to achieve the kind of excellence we achieve at the EMY Africa awards,” he added.
He, however, acknowledged a few of his employees who perform their duties with careful diligence, as well as service providers such as production designer Tony Prince Tomety and sound engineer consultant, Francis Kwakye.
