Felix Kwakye Ofosu Denies Joselyn Dumas’ Alleged Appointment

Recent reports suggested that Ghanaian actress and media personality Joselyn Dumas had been appointed as the Deputy Director of Diaspora Affairs in President John Mahama’s administration. However, Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has strongly refuted these claims. He clarified that while several appointments have been confirmed, Dumas is not among them. His statement comes in response to widespread speculation and congratulatory messages circulating on social media regarding the actress’s supposed new role. The initial reports of Dumas’s appointment sparked mixed reactions within the entertainment industry, especially among some Kumawood actors who voiced concerns about the government favoring English-speaking personalities for such positions. Meanwhile, other well-known figures, including Kofi Okyere-Darko (KOD), Kafui Danku, and James Gardiner, have been officially appointed to roles within the film authority and tourism sector. Despite the public discourse surrounding the alleged appointment, Joselyn Dumas herself has not made any official statement to confirm or deny the claims. Attempts to reach her for clarification have reportedly been unsuccessful. Given the Minister’s categorical denial, it is clear that the reports of Dumas’s appointment were inaccurate. This situation highlights the importance of verifying information before spreading it, especially regarding governmental appointments. As discussions continue about the involvement of entertainment industry figures in government, the public is urged to rely on official sources for accurate updates.
