Pressure group, Concerned Voters Movement (CVM) has taken on business mogul and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ashanti Goldfields Corporation, Sam K. Jonah for neglecting his own country to invest in South Africa, but turned around to criticize Ghanaian economy.
The group wondered, what else the prominent businessman wants the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government to do even when all economic indicators cited by him [Sam Jonah] were clearly inconsistent with the true state of the Ghanaian economy.
In a statement, Founder and President of CVM, Razak Kojo Opoku said, “now the question is how does Sam Jonah want Akufo-Addo-Bawumia’s government to stop borrowing if he is continuously investing in the South African economy and paying taxes to the South African government?”
According to the group, Mr Sam Jonah should have at least shown appreciation to the good initiatives implemented by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia’s government aimed at formalizing the economy, ensuring a fast rate of development in all the areas of the economy and positioning Ghana to compete fairly and squarely with the advanced economies.
