Is supporting Miss Ghana your business? - Leila Djansi ask Gender minister

Award winning movie director, Leila Djansi Award winning movie director, Leila Djansi

Movie Director, Leila Djansi has expressed shock at the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection’s resolve to support Miss Ghana when there are pertinent social issues that need to be addressed in the country.

Cynthia Morrison, Minister for Gender, Children & Social Protection, has pledged to support the Miss Ghana brand to win back its lost glory.

The minister, who is obviously not happy with how some persons have been soiling the Miss Ghana brand, said she would be helping showcase the positives about the oldest and the longest running annual beauty contest in Ghana.

This, she believes, would make the brand more attractive than it is now.

“Now that I am involved in the pageant, I will make sure that positives are mostly spoken of,” she announced.

She was speaking at the launch of the 2019 edition of Miss Ghana pageant at Tang Place Hotel in Accra when she made the announcement.

But reacting to this, Leila Djansi who has been advocating for an improvement in the lives of the Ghanaian mentioned that there were several issues that need to be addressed and therefore it’s needless for a Minister of State to pledge support for Miss Ghana.

She said “Ghana folks, can someone please tell her to pledge support for little kids dying via ignorance? Can she fix the social welfare department and place them in hospitals? What the heck does Miss Ghana benefit the nation? Seriously!!!!”.
