A Ghanaian food processing company, Akwaaba Feeds Limited, has been accused of seizing control of a public enterprise with which it partnered in a public-private partnership initiative funded by the European Union.
In early September 2022, the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly launched a million-euro piggery project to much fanfare and expectation of a "transformative initiative" to uplift lives, create jobs, and boost local economies.
In pursuit of these goals, the assembly immediately engaged the services of Akwaaba Feeds to manage the facility and create a thriving piggery value chain.
It was a big mistake.
