  Ghana is truly stuck in the 19th century.
  
  Having over 170 state owned enterprises that have never turned a pesewa in profits is rather shameful and need to be either sold or bulldozed!

  Reform should start from appointments to the Board of Directors and CEO roles. It is hypocritical to lament the poor performance of SOE when you put incompetent , unqualified and politically exposed personnel in leadership roles. The VP should be confronting the elephant in the role by saying that her government will use a competitive and rigorous process to recruit key personnel to run SOEs, like Singapore and other high performing economies. LET’S STOP THE HYPOCRISY!

  The real problem is not the SOEs.The problem lies with our parties. We created GOLDBOD to do almost the same things; we have created AIDC when VALCO is still there. In respect of Small Scale Industries,we have had Office of Business Promotion(OBP), Ghanaian Enterprises Board(GEB), National Board for Small Scale Industries( NBSSI). Even the Controlling Body for SOEs has been changed a few times. Several SOEs have been in operation for many years without a single ceding profit or surplus. They always have full 11-13.member boards of Directors, almost all of them drawn from the Ruling political party. The.VP should not forget that some of us Ghanaians are very much aware of the facts on the ground.. Just like Gallamsey, if any.Administration really wants to change things,they can do it without any fanfare very.quickly.
