Don’t ‘crucify’ financial firms over their mistakes, support them – Nduom

The President and Chairman of Groupe Nduom (GN), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, has admonished Ghanaians to be circumspect in their condemnation of Ghanaian financial institutions.
“With regards to the financial industry, we must be careful not to capsize the ship. We must gently but urgently put it on the right course and make change happen. The sooner the better. We can do this,” Dr. Nduom gave the caution in a post on his Facebook wall.
And though he agreed that those alleged to have been involved in criminal activities should be made to face the full rigors of the law, he bemoaned what he described as the “overwhelming attack” on all indigenous financial institutions.
Dr. Nduom, who was worried over the situation, indicated that all professionals and industries in the country were littered with their own problems.
“All professions and industries in Ghana have problems and many are under stress. This includes legal, media, health, education, pharmacy, public sector, football, music, etc.,” the president of Groupe Nduom averred.
Against this backdrop, Dr. Nduom quoted from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible to remind Ghanaians of those without sin to cast the first stone.
According to him, it has become the common refrain of many Ghanaians shouting “Crucify him”; “Jail them and throw away the keys”; “Seize their assets”; “Thieves”!
These disquieting catchphrases, the President of GN contended, are often heard on the lips of lawyers, economists, consultants, government officials among many others.
He added: “We have been here before as a nation. Some lost their lives. Yet, we are where we are.”
Therefore, he called on Ghanaians to refrain from the “hourly” recounting of wrongdoing, challenges and problems, and instead find solutions to these problems.
And though finding solutions to problems was difficult, Dr. Nduom advised against giving up on Ghanaian entrepreneurs, professionals and workers.
“My point is let’s help those local businesses who show seriousness about doing the right things by embracing discipline, good governance and prudent behaviour. Our economy, jobs and well-being are at stake” he emphasized.
In his estimation, financial enterprises suffer when people take loans and other facilities without paying back them.
“Government still owes billions of Ghana Cedis in energy, infrastructure and other areas. Government’s difficulty is understandable,” he said.
At Groupe Nduom, Dr. Nduom disclosed that “we have over 6,000 employees.”
Most of these employees, he said, work hard, adding that “They have families and they have hopes for a better future.

Blame Kantanka Automobile for low market penetration - Gabby

Source:  Ghana|myjoyonline.com|Edwin Appiah|edwin.appiah@myjoyonline.com Ghanaian car company, Kantanka, has been blamed for failing to penetrate the local market following efforts by German car maker VW to set up in Ghana. The New Patriotic Party (NPP) man and an insider in the Akufo-Addo government, has said Kantanka Automobile has not been proactive in engaging the government to purchase their cars. The discussion about Kantanka cars has been triggered by the President's announcement, Volks Wagen (VW) will be setting up a car assembly plant in Ghana. The announcement has been applauded in some quarters on social media but it has also raised questions about government's commitment to helping the indigenous car company. Critics say the President's much-touted 'Ghana beyond aid' is hollow if it cannot empower local businesses and entrepreneurs. The Chief Executive Officer of Kantanka Automobile Limited, Kwadwo Safo Jnr joined in a tweet ' “Why is ...
