Former French diplomat to Ghana, Her Excellency Anne Sophie Avé had suggested that Ghanaian artists should be granted a diplomatic passport.

Her suggestion is based on the fact that these artists through their talents promote and sell the nation hence granting them such privilege will elevate their works and purpose of pushing national interest to the world.

In a discussion on UTV Showbiz, Ms. Vida opined that it will be catastrophic should these mentioned artists be granted this privilege leaving the others.

"The issue now is who gets the privilege, there is no proper catalog to show, and based on what merit should they be granted this privilege? There is a difference between working for Ghana and giving the nod to promote Ghana.

"The president hasn't given them the nod to promote Ghana, but it is nice to go out there and promote the nation during your tour but you are not obliged to, so let's establish that fact.

"It will be chaotic should some be giving these privileges without others, the structure isn't solid, we can do better by starting from the basics and putting the right structures in place," she added.
