A member of the Ghana Cinematography and Exhibition Board of Control, Ken Addy said the Beau of National Investigation have overstepped their boundaries in seizing movie entitled ‘Oh Uncle Atta and Atta Mortuary Man’.
He explained that the members of the board would not pass the movie if it connotes anything with President Mills.
Ken Addy stressed that the national security officials should have contacted members of Cinematography and Exhibition Board of Control before they acted on seizing the suppose controversial movie.
The two movies have nothing to do with the name of the President, it’s a story character that bears the name ‘Atta’, he added.
Ken Addy made these comments on Dwaso Nsem programme on Adom fm.
He reiterated that the national security apparatus should have at least preview the movie before they took any action.
A Movie Producer and Director, Mr. Kofi Asamoah, said the state broadcaster Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GTV) has refused to play his advert on his controversial movie ‘Oh Uncle Atta and Atta Mortuary Man’.
He said since he placed his commercial with GBC, they have directed him to change the title of the movie or they would not air his advert because the title connotes the name of the President.
But the young Movie Producer and Director insist his GHC40, 000 movie, ‘Oh Uncle Atta’, has nothing to do with President Atta Mills.
According to the director, he fears his new movie, titled “Oh Uncle Atta”, may be prevented from being released onto the market by National Security operatives and elements within the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Mr. Asamoah stated that although the title and content of his Movie has no bearing on President John Evans Atta Mills, he believes that may be the purpose of the National Security’s action.
According to him, his fears were heightened after some persons believed to be National Security Operatives, stormed the Opera Square and made away with all copies of a new movie that had been released by his colleague Producer.
Meanwhile, one of the actors of ‘Oh Uncle Atta’ movie and Ghana's dynamic local language female actress, Rose Mensa also known as Akua Atta Kyeiwaa said it very unfortunate for anybody to have thought that the movie was targeted at the President.
She said the movie is distant from connoting the President as a failure but rather the movie tells a story about the plight of a man name ‘Atta’.
Meanwhile, the self acclaim Atta Mortuary says he will sue the producers of the movie for using his name to make movies without any form of financial assistance.
The 81 year old man explains he will not allow his name to use for selfish interest without his consent.

‘DON’T BLAME ANCELOTTI FOR POOR CHELSEA SEASON’- Micheal Essien
Chelsea Midfield dynamo, Micheal Essien say it should be wrong for anybody to point blame at Carlos Ancelotti for the recent poor performance of Chelsea in failing to clinch a single trophy in past season.
He expressed his regret for the immediate dismissal of Coach Ancelotti as the season ends.
Micheal Essien explained that the entire playing body work as a team so it will be unfortunate for anybody to hold blames any individual for the downturn in the season.
According to Micheal Essien, former coach Ancelotti should be given another opportunity to prove himself.
The former Blues boss has been under pressure after seeing his side fail to defend the Premier League and FA Cup Double achieved in Ancelotti's first season despite several big money signings.
The Stamford Bridge were also knocked out of the Champions League by rivals Manchester United, with that trophy in particular the prime target of club owner Roman Abramovich and the Italian has paid for that failure with his job.
Ancelotti's case was not helped after the signing of Fernando Torres in January for £50 million failed to spark a mid-season.

NDC CAMPAIGN IS GETTING DIRTIER-JOSEPH YAMIN
As the countdown to the Presidential Primaries of the National Democratic Congress get hotter and keener, the Ashanti Regional General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Joseph Yamin says the campaign towards July has become dirtier; this he said has created unnecessary divisions in the Party.

He reiterated that there are people in the NDC who have not sacrifice enough for the party but yet they holding ministerial appointment and serving on numerous boards.
Some of the great people in the party who have sacrifice their lives, resources and time for the party have not been appreciated all because of the division and selfish gains in the party, he added.
