The Minority Leader, has appealed to politicians and policy makers to depoliticise business and entrepreneurship matters.
Speaking at the second Kwahu Business Forum on Saturday, April 19, 2025, he said that no matter how good political promises sound, they won't mean much if people can't get fair and easy access to money to grow their businesses. "No economy can thrive where access to finance remains elusive, Ghana's economic future will depend heavily on the strength, agility, and resilience of its business community and on the strategic role the financial sector plays in supporting indigenous enterprises to scale up and succeed. "When we empower local businesses with the capital and confidence they need to grow, we do more than boost productivity, we open up pathways to job creation", he noted.
He emphasised that this is especially important for Ghana's youth, many of whom miss out on opportunities simply because they don't belong to the right political party. "In a country where youth unemployment remains one of our most urgent national challenges, building a strong and inclusive financial ecosystem is not just an economic imperative, it is a social one as well, and as someone who has spent over two decades not only in public service but also in private enterprise, I have walked that often unpredictable road. "I know what it means to raise capital, to innovate through constraints, to weather storms in a fragile entrepreneurial ecosystem.
These personal experiences have deepened my conviction that entrepreneurship is not just a livelihood, it is nation building.
