Even in kwame Nkrumah's time how well did those state owned factories fare? He is completely right. Government has no business doing business especially not in black Africa where the mentality that everything state owned can be looted. Just because SOEs thrive in Malaysia n co does not mean it will work here too. The institutions of Audit, arrest n prosecution of state looters work in those countries. Let's not delude ourselves. a lot of Ghanaians will admit that Kwesi Nduom was probably the best candidate during the last election. I'm not saying the other candidates were bad, but is at par with Nduom. Unfortunately, he may never be President.

What a pathetic, ignorant nonsense from this political prostitute (PP)? Has he ever studied the political economy of all developed countries before making such a sweeping, nonsensical statement?

In the '90s, I used to have argument with Prof. George Ayittey when he used to say same. I used to chide him with the quip that the forecast was the Chinese were coming to Africa and Africans would be the grass on which the elephants of the East and West fight on! Of course, the Chinese were then seen as only laughing stock Commies who build inefficient state factories using prison labour. But yet, those prisoners were producing goods which were taking markets from the capitalist West in even their own countries! Upon all this, Nduom will today open his mouth and say the state doesn't build factories anywhere???

Had Nduom and his ignorant Africans been to Scandinavia to ask about the state owned businesses? In Norway, even the largest tobaconnist chain selling porns, etc., Narvesen, is state owned. Norsk Hydro, Statoil and many others are giant international operators and they are state owned.

Tanzania is blazing the trail with 1000s of factories set up. Of course, Tanzania has also long overtaken Ghana in literacy level so I don't expect the mass of illiterate and semi-educated Ghanaians to know this.

Books have been written since the 1980s showing how the states in the Asian Tigers were the major catalysts behind their modernisation, not private enterprise, which just played supporting roles.

It seems as a nation we repeat the same mistakes and expect different results -- none of Nkrumah's factories or government enterprises such as Ghana Airways, Black Star Line etc made profits. China's economy took off when they decided to open their markets and promote private companies. Look at how cocoa farmers thrive, it is because these are their own private farms. What government needs is to provide necessary incentives to grow the private sector. Provide/gurantee low cost loans to business men and women and make location of the factories a big part of the loan. Also the factory has to be close to where the raw materials would be grown or farmed. For example you build sardine factories in the coastal area or shea butter factory in the North. When people own something they take better care of it and make sure it is productive.

DECLARATION IS NOT PROOF! YOU DECLARE NKRUMAH'S FACTORIES NEVER TO HAVE BEEN PROFITABLE BUT GIVE NO EVIDENCE FOR IT! THESE FACTORIES FUNCTIONED UNDER VARIOUS GOVERNMENTS AFTER NKRUMAH'S OVERTHROW. IF GHANA AIRWAYS WAS WOEFULLY MISMANAGED AND LOOTED UNDER NPP'S KUFUOR ADMINISTRATION, DO YOU THEN BLAME NKRUMAH? PROFITABILITY IS ALSO NOT JUST ECONOMIC STATISTICS. THESE FACTORIES EVEN UNDER ANTI-NKRUMAH GOVERNMENTS PROVIDED EMPLOYMENT FOR MANY, AND PUT MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS WHICH THEN WENT BACK TO SUSTAIN THE ECONOMY EVEN ACCORDING TO CAPITALIST THEORY. NOT LIKE TODAY'S STREET VENDOR AND UNEMPLOYED UNIVERSITY GRADUATE ECONOMY!

FEW VENTURES START OFF MAKING PROFIT IN THEIR FIRST YEARS WHETHER SET UP BY CAPITALISTS OR OTHERWISE. STATE INTERVENTION IS THE FASTEST WAY FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES TO ACHIEVE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ACCUMULATED CAPITAL, HISTORIC EXPERIENCE AND INFRASTRUCTURE (LEGAL AS WELL AS TECHNOLOGICAL) TO FOLLOW THE WESTERN PATH. BUT EVEN THE WEST RESORTS TO STATE INTERVENTION DURING CRUNCH TIMES. NO DOUBT YOUR SILLY, SHALLOW DOCTRINAIRE PROPAGANDIST MENTALITY NEVER ALLOWED YOU TO LEARN THAT THE US TOOK OVER

Get your facts right, the factories built by Nkrumah were all operating at a loss, including enterprises like Ghana Airways and Black Star line. Nkrumah was the first to go to IMF when the economy starting tanking. There were a few factories that limped along after Nkrumah left the scene, like the Volta Corned Beef factory in Bolga etc. but even those were struggling and eventually closed. How much profit are the distilleries, chocolate, and textile factories making and how many people do they employ?

Government must build the necessary infrastructure and a single market to create the environment to encourage the private sector to embark on such an industrial drive of building factories.

Let Ghana learn from past mistakes.
Ghanaians and Africans do not respect state ownership of business entities.

In the long run, public corporate assets are sold by the same person to the same person, leading to heavy loss to the state. No job is created in the long run.

This is what happened in the Nkrumah industrialization strategy by state ownership.

Mrs Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, the president of 31st December movement, is now fighting with Caridem to dominate and own the so-called companies of the movement, which were in reality state assets; the land owners were claiming their land back since the public purpose for which the land were compulsorily seized were exhausted.

Prez Akufo-Addo's one district one factory plan could not create the jobs intended and would become a one day wonder in the fast changing industrial politics with loss to the state.

That loss must be anticipated and tackled in the implementation of one district, one factory conceptualism.

The truth of the matter is that a lot of people only think about employment. However, business is set up for going concern, in other word, it is set up to grow. State establishments such as factories will either aim at breaking even or make a normal profit. Doing so continuously will eventually collapse it. Not only that but also lackadaisical attitude and laxity among the employees contribute greatly to the collapse. Unlike private individual/s who always aim at maximizing normal or supernormal profit at all times, and also employing the most qualified personnel for the managerial positions. This thought is proven to be true. Thanks
