The CEO of McDan Group, Dr Daniel McKorley, has spoken openly about the challenges Ghana's private sector faces due to government policies.
Speaking at the recent Ghana CEO-Presidential Gala Dinner, he criticised these policies for their lack of support for local businesses, stating that they create an unfavourable environment for entrepreneurs striving to make a difference. "I will be very blunt," Dr McKorley stated. "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." Reflecting on his own experiences, he explained how difficult it is for Ghanaians to succeed in business under current conditions. "If you want to do business in Ghana, then you have to be prepared.
Being a Ghanaian doing business in Ghana, you have to be brave," he said.
