A major challenge of Ghanaian Businessmen is not capital but lack of trusted human resources
President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, has explained that the major setback for businessmen in Ghana is not capital.
Rather, getting trusted persons to work with is the major challenge for businessmen in the country.
The President says he has had discussions with a number of businesspeople and that has been the message throughout his discussions with businessmen.
He is of the view that it is worrying and bad for productivity.
The President was speaking at the Kwahu Business Forum when he made this known.

“There are several businessmen have told me that one of the major hindrances they face in business is not even capital, it is getting trusted people to work with. If somebody comes to work for you, he thinks that your business is a platform for him also to build his business,” he said.
The President recalled how he bought a bus for a relative to help them take care of their family.
He said the bus was given to a driver, however, they always had to come back to him to fix the car.
The driver bought a land and built a house to lintel level, but after the bus broke down and was disposed off, the driver could not continue the building.
