A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Gabby Otchere-Darko has fired heavy missiles at the CEO of McDan Group, Dr Daniel McKorley.
McDan speaking at the Ghana CEO-Presidential Gala Dinner on 7 November 2024 in Accra publicly criticized the government for neglecting the private sector.
Mcdan detailed the battles he faced while building the McDan Group, highlighting the lack of government initiatives to support entrepreneurs, he pointed out that the private sector in Ghana still faces many challenges due to the government’s failure to empower local businesses in the country.
The CEO of McDan Group “I will be very blunt; government policies have really not helped the private sector. That is where we are sitting right now, and we have to be frank about it,”
“If you want to do business in Ghana, you have to be prepared. Being a Ghanaian doing business in Ghana, you have to be brave,” he stressed.
Reacting to McDan comments about government policies not helping the private sector, Gabby Otchere-Darko communicated astonishment. According to Gabby’s statement on X, Mcdan has enjoyed the full support of the government and owns the largest salt concession in Africa.
Gabby’s statement on X reads, “I am perplexed! This is from an entrepreneur who enjoyed the full support of govt to own the largest salt concession in Africa, with the capacity to produce some $2bn of salt annually; a project that for 45yrs various govts failed to commercialise. Aghast!”.
