CPP Chairman
condemns sale of State Enterprises
Tarkwa (W/R), July 29, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Samuel Gordon Etroo,
Western Regional Chairman of Convention People's Party (CPP),
has condemned successive governments for privatising
Ghanaian State-owned enterprises.
He said privatising these enterprises indicated that those
Governments could not manage the State and, therefore, CPP
should be given the chance to take control.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency at Tarkwa, Mr
Etroo alleged that the ruling New Patriotic Party was bent
on privatising all State enterprises by the end of its
tenure of office.
He cited Ghana Water Company and current plans to sell Bank
of Ghana's shares in the Agricultural Development Bank to
Stanbic Bank of South Africa, as some of NPP's move to rid
the State of ownership.
Mr Etroo called on Ghanaians not to allow these developments
to succeed.
He said the Bonsa Tyre Factory that used to produce tyres
locally had collapsed while Ghana Rubber Estate, a world
class quality rubber producer, was now exporting its
products and by this was creating employment abroad, leaving
Ghanaian job seekers with no opportunity.
He said when CPP were voted to power all divested companies
would be redeemed to offer employment to Ghanaians.
