    Had I know is the achievement of fools.

  • Francis Dery 9 years ago

    Does this man MANUFACTURE cars, etc. or does he ASSEMBLE them? Because the right context is important. And why is no one (govt, investors or customers) buying his inventions? How durable and reliable are his products?

    I am ...

    Alkebula, Gob bless you. We as Ghanaians must buy Kantanka cars, if Mahama is advising us to buy made in Ghana goods, then he should start by buying Kantanka cars for the Ministries. We talk too much but we donät act.

    There they go again! Always trying to read political meanings into everything. Is it wrong to ask for government support? Grow up and stop this backward and childish thinking.

    Not to worry. This is a test for Public Private Partnership - PPP?. A Foreign Investor might show up to support KANTANKA

  • Alkebulan 9 years ago

    If the lecturer examines the Kantanka engine and realises that it is just a re-adjustment or tweaking of an earlier mechanical invention and correctly calls it re-engineering and says so, how can that be jealousy?

    Some pe ...

    Land Cruiser is patented and owned by Toyota so how can Apostle Sarfo make them? His 30 vehicles are Kantaka SUV's, not landcrusers.

    Apostle Sarfo deserves commendation, for the global auto industry as the author points out, "... is not easy to penetrate" as it is "... dominated by countries like U.S.A, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, France and Korea." It ...

    He really need support not from the government alone,but also individuals.Especially the selfish,jealous,unpatriotic engineering lecturer.

  • Stoph 9 years ago

    The problem with Ghana is that the people at the top have no ideas and the people at bottom will not be any better if given the chance. You need a better word to describe the so called engineer at Tech. Stupid, an idiot but t ...

    I still can't believe government is not supporting this man. Oh when will black man be smart. The white man goes extra mile to support innovation but not our black folks.

  • yaanom 9 years ago

    I remember the late Baa weridu shows a lot of support to him when he finance minister. He needs free duties and tax break to fulfill this dreams.

  • RICHMOND AFRIFA 9 years ago

    The man must be supported buy the government as well. Some Ghanaians are relly hipocrates that is why they sometimes give silly comments about Apostle Sarfo. Apostle never pay ears to such people. It shall be well

    Shame on all the engineers who take their cars to magazine for repairs when it develops any form of fault let alone try to manufacture one,the man of God is blessed beyond recognition,love or hate him,he keeps flying high .

  • kofi kwateng 9 years ago

    In this modern day and age,what he needs is private investment.Create a website if you already don't have one and advertise.The government will only come in and mess things up,especially in this multi party era.

    May the Lord continue to use him with this talent that he has.

  • Bryan Dopp 9 years ago

    Waiting for gov. authorities to bless or help fund a manufacturing endeavor is a waste of time. One has to just act, and build cars and society remembering that we, in fact, are the government:) Kantanka need not wait for g ...

    Why on earth has governments upon governments refused to help and support this venture. Should he politicize these inventions before his achievements would be recognized? One can never understand.

  • E Quarshie 9 years ago
