Local businesses should not be attacked - Harruna Attah


                                                     Alhaji Abdul-Rahman Harruna Attah

A former High Commissioner to Namibia, Alhaji Abdul-Rahman Harruna Attah has advised government to desist from “attacking” Ghanaian owned businesses.

Instead of witch-hunting local businesses, he said government should rather support the owners and create an enabling environment where these businesses can thrive.

Alhaji Abdul-Rahman Harruna Attah’s comments come in the wake of the collapse of some local enterprises as a result of either their inability to meet government’s requirements or failure to use appropriate methods in their dealings.

In an interview with Paul Adom Otchere on Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana show, the veteran journalist consented that businesses that do not operate according to the country’s business laws should not be shielded. 

He said, while exposing the wayward ones, government must also support the others who deserve protection. 

He explained that, “Local businesses should be encouraged because the government cannot do everything. It’s the local businesses when they get established, that will create wealth and that’ll trickle laterally and vertically.”

Apart from lacking JHS blocks, pupils are forced to learn under sheds roofed with straws because the two 3-unit classroom blocks are not enough to accommodate the over 350 kindergarten and primary school pupils. The headteacher and staff of the school have no office. They sit under a tree, a situation which is reportedly making teaching and learning difficult.                         Teachers sit under this tree Mr. Peter Senu, Headmaster of the school, laments how most of the stude...
