A leading member of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, has he and others will fight the long held notion that the party is not business-friendly.
It is the believe that the NDC under the late president Rawlings collapsed businesses without due cause, which according to Dr Spio-Garbrah has been haunting the NDC over the years.
The Chairman of the Business Development Committee of the NDC explained that it is the reason, he prevailed on the former National Chairman of the party, Dr. Kofi Portuphy to establish a Business Development Committee which he has chaired over the years.
This is to interface with business people in the country to help change the narratives, he said.
“Many of the party supporters did not know, I chair such an important committee in the party. It is the reason many young people enter the university as Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) members and end up becoming Tertiary Education Confederacy (TESCON) members,” he bemoaned.
“This is so because of the notion that there are no rich men in the NDC,” he added.
The former Minister for Trade and Industry said this at the launch of Ahotor Project by Dr. Kwabena Duffour, a former Finance Minister under late president John Evans Atta-Mills on Thursday, 7 April 2022, in the Ashaiman Constituency of the Greater Accra Region.
He commended Dr. Duffour for changing the face of the NDC going into the 2024 general elections.
He said urged others who have similar ideas like that of Dr Kwabena Duffour to bring it on board for the reorganization of the party.
Dr. Duffour for his part reiterated that the NDC does not hate business people. “We understand business better than they (New Patriotic Party) do,” he said.
“It was under the late president Prof Mills in 2011 that Ghana attained a growth rate of 14.5 percent and it was the highest in the world,” he recalled.
He maintained that nobody can beat the NDC when it comes to the economic management of the country.

You mean with budget credibility from IMF??? What a shame!!! Well NDC still can not understand with their shallow minds even with facts and figures. STILL NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
Hahahaaaa, as they say Ghanaians have short memories, management of the economy means power cuts day and night, it means paying 3 months salary only to new entrants on government payroll even if they have been working for more than 3 months, it means paying MP's double salaries, it means selling state owned enterprises to yourself and your cronies, it means embarking on projects that are not in the budget, it means running to the IMF for a bail out, it means a freeze on employment. If this is what we call sound economic management then even 'kayaye's can equally be president's and ministers.
P/NDC ruled this country for 27 years and mismanaged everything and you are talking this rub.bish to us. Don't annoy me ok. Go away with your ***barred word*** talk.
