President Mahama says finding honest workers hurts businesses more than money problems. He talked about this at the Kwahu Business Forum on April 19. He once bought a bus for his family member to run a transport company. The driver changed the bus design, which caused many breakdowns. Mahama finally sold the bus because repairs cost him more than just sending money directly.
The driver lived in a family house but started building his house with bus earnings. The construction stopped when Mahama sold the broken bus. The building remains unfinished ten years later. Many business owners face similar issues when staff use their jobs as stepping stones. Some Ghanaian companies hire foreign managers because they cannot find trustworthy local workers. Mahama wants Ghanaian professionals to become more dedicated to growing businesses rather than just helping themselves.
