  have you given me a political power to manage the affairs of this country ?
  state institutions are managed by those you have given them political powers, if those people are not doing their job, what do you want me to do ? use my own money to refurbish the state property ?

  have you ever paid me with the taxpayers money to manage the state institutions?
  who should we hold accountable if state properties like this are left to rot ?

  Have you heard about "Divestiture Implementation Program", and who implemented that program? How did Nsawan Canary become the property of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawling, did Nana Addo sell that factory to her? So, what is your point in trying to blame the current president about the sorry state of those factories who were sold before he became president?
  
  Under Nana Addo, over 100 factories have been established in Ghana and hiring Ghanaians.

  Most of these factories were sold by (P)NDC government under JJ Rawlings. It was done in the name of DIV Divestiture Implementation Committee, criminally the companies were sold to members of the government

  Most Ghanaians dont like to read. The current crop of journalists are worse. Have they gone into details about divestiture? Check facts b4 wruting anything. Is it just now that the factory has been abandoned? Eg. Who did the government of the 1980s sell Aboso Glass Factory to? Please before you write about things go check for detailed facts about reasons of the abandonment of most factories then.
  Did you check about the Black Star Lines. etc......

  Saige, ask yourself how Nsawam Canary became the property of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawling. When Nkrumah was overthrown in 1966, the leaders did not sell any of those factories till a "savior known as Junior Jesus" came to the throne and sold every factory in Ghana. The funny thing is that man who was preaching "probity and accountability" is the one who did all these selling and to date, he did not account anything to Ghanaians and is now resting peacefully in his grave.
  
  Ask questions and there are people in Ghana who are still alive since 1966 and can tell you something. Is Nsawan Canary working, and how many Ghanaians are currently working in that factory?
  
  Stop blaming Nana Addo, because he has nothing to do with those factories established by Nkrumah and how they were disposed.

  I have some occasions entered this big factory in Bonsa, Bro you will cry. I worked in a company called Al-Khodari Construction Company as Thier Timekeeper and is directly opposite Bonsa Tires in the years 2000 to 2003. If you enter Bonsa Tires you will immediately ask yourself what is wrong with our leaders. Everything is just left to rot.

  Oh mine! I did my National Service at Bonsa Tires (formerly Firestone Gh. Ltd). I never regretted it.
  I am still in tears and struggling to type this. Someone decided that, he or she will make more money if we import tyres fro Korea and China, than if we produced it in Ghana. So, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings took over Ghana Rubber Estates, the supplier of the major raw material for the producing the tires. The rest is history.

  That is why Nkrumah coined the phrase 'Nation wreckers' for the Danquah/Busia group. Anything Nkrumah did they opposed.Anything Nkrumah left behind they destroyed. When Afrifa and Kotoka overthrew Nkrumah the IMF and the World Bank told the government not to import all that Ghana needed because it would be cheaper than producing them locally. And Afrifa's NLC government accepted that malicious recommendation. Look at where Ghana is now? We import almost everything and our youth are jobless.

  still reflecting on the memories and not the reality. these equipment if they were in production would not be efficient in doing the work and imho simply run at a loss like most SOEs we have.
  more than 61% of SOE in this country run at a loss, so you can imagine how much tax payers' money is going down the sink-hole.
  lets make progress, shall we?
  1. there is simply too much waste in the country
  a. number of parliamentarians
  b. number of ministries
  c. number of regions
  d. etc.
  
  we need something similar to the DOGE being run by Elon and Vivek to identify and cut down on the waste.
  we have MCEs, DCEs, Regional ministers, district cordinators and are still not seeing the proposed decentralization.
  
  We need a rethink of our current governance architecture, it looks like we tried to breakdown the gov't bureaucracy to make governance more inclusive but we have simply built a bureaucracy that drains the public coffers.
  
  Rationalization is required as we desire to see improved living conditions and an economy worthy of the Ghanaian.
  Until we do these, we will continue to be delusional to think that factories such as these will make the difference.
  Don't get me wrong guys, i'm not saying we don't need factories but we need to have a strategic plan to keep gov't out of these types of businesses.
  Gov't should exist to enable businesses and not be involved in running businesses.
  Thank you!

  The Bonsa company was managed by Ghanaians and they could not managed the company well that led to the collapsed of the company. In Ghana we don’t have managerial skill that is all the state enterprises has collapsed. Many of the board of directors are empty headed people who do not have managerial skill to direct the company all they do is to take their allowances at every sitting. The collapsing of the company is cause by board of directors and the Managing director.
