The Ministry of Foreign Affairs And Regional Integration has stated that the purported change of venue for the screening of the latest episode from Tiger Eye investigations, has been resolved.
In that direction, the screening is to come off as scheduled.
In a release yesterday reacting to reports that the International Conference Centre was preventing Tiger Eye from a public screening of the video, the Foreign Ministry stated that the initial confusion was due to a scheduling conflict at the level of the AICC staff and not in any way a political decision as being speculated.
“The matter has been resolved. We have made contact with the organizers and the event is expected to come off as scheduled,” said a statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration signed by Vivian K.A Asempapa (Ms.), Director/Accra International Conference Centre.
In an earlier release dated 13 November 2022, Tiger Eye P. I. informed the public that it has been stopped from screening its latest undercover investigative piece titled ‘Galamsey Economy’ at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) which is scheduled this Monday and Tuesday (14 &15) of November 2022.
Tiger Eye informed the public that the management of AICC told their agent on Saturday, 12 November 2022, that the venue is no longer available for use on the said dates.
This was contained in a press release titled ‘GALAMSEY ECONOMY EXPOSÉ: ACCRA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTRE PREVENTS TIGER EYE FROM USING VENUE FOR PUBLIC SHOWING’.
Tiger Eye stated that it has already fulfilled every requirement of AICC to use the place including payment for the venue despite last-minute changes in cost by about per cent (30%).
Tiger Eye stated that it is saddened that barely 48 hours before the public screenings when invitations have been sent to the diplomatic community and other high-profile individuals in society, and flyers sent out to the public, they have had to look for a new venue.
“We would like to apologise to the public for the inconvenience of the change of venue. Our agent is securing another auditorium and we will update the public soon on the new venue.
“All tickets already out are valid for the new venue,” they said.
