The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of D.K Korankye Group of Companies limited, Nana Korankye, has appealed to the government to involve the private sector in its job creation agenda.
He argued that the formation of graduate unemployed associations would be a thing of the past if the private sector is given the needed support.
Nana Korankye, who is also the Sompahene of the Sefwi Anhwiaso Traditional Council, made this appeal when he was commissioning a new branch of D.K. Korankye company at Goaso in the Ahafo Region.
He complained bitterly about frequent hikes in goods and services, which he considered as a major challenge to Ghanaians businesses.
The new branch in Goaso in the Ahafo Region was to provide full services to customers in Goaso and its environs.
The move, according to the CEO, forms part of the company’s strategic plan to get closer to individuals and businesses in Goaso and provide better services to customers within the Ahafo Region.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the new office located at Dechem, Goaso-Bibiani road opposite the Ahafo Regional Coordinating Council (ARCC), Nana Korankye explained that the decision to establish the branch was underpinned by the desire to offer convenient one-stop-shop to meet the varied needs of customers and inhabitants within the Ahafo Region.
“I ‘m optimistic that with the new branch opened at Goaso would also save them from travelling for many hours to purchase home decor and sanitary wares from Kumasi and Accra henceforth.
Nana Korankye, however, called on the government to create an enabling environment for the private sector and small businesses by granting tax amnesty to enable them to expand their businesses
As part of the programme, Nana Korankye donated items such as 5 bags of sugar, 20 pieces mats, 20 pieces of buters, 15 bottles of voltic drinking water, 10 cartons of milk and milo among others to support the Islamic community in their month long fasting and prayers journey.
He also donated six barriage, and one destop computer to the Goaso Police Command.
On her part, The Ahafo Regional Minister, Chrity Gardiner, who was a special guest for the occasion, hailed Nana Korankye for expanding his tentacles to Ahafo the Region
She expressed government commitment to create an enabling environment to ensure private business thrive no matter their location, adding that the NDC government was working on improving on the country’s framework to remove any bottlenecks and give opportunity to expand their businesses and employ more people.
The Regional Minister seized the opportunity to encourage more investors both home and abroad to come to the Ahafo Region to establish their businesses.
” Our region is blessed with numerous opportunities and natural resources such as gold, timber, cocoa, foodstuffs, among others.
