\u201cGovernment must come out with a strong policy direction to compel all banks operating within the country to support the manufacturing sector with a good working capital to expand their production in order to help address the unemployment situation in the country,\u201d John Appiah Biney, the Chief Executive of J.A. Biney & Co. Ltd has said.<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Biney, financial institutions in the country are rather interested in supporting what he described as \u2018buying and selling\u2019 sector instead of concentrating on the manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n
In his estimation, it is only the enhancement of the manufacturing sector that could guarantee sustainable growth and ensure the stability of the cedi.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf manufacturing companies are supported more people would be employed and for that matter address the astronomical increases of prices of goods and services,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to GhanaWeb, the business magnate could not fathom why facilities that could serve as the country\u2019s major industrial hub are being sold to churches instead of revamping them to create more jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo to North Industrial Area in Accra and see, a lot of companies are collapsing and churches are taking over. Companies that have capacity to employ over 3,000 people collapse and individuals buy them; turn them to \u2018one-man\u2019 churches keeping the monies in their pockets,\u201d the frustrated CEO reiterated.<\/p>\n
The practice, Mr Biney labelled, as astonishing and stressed \u201cI don\u2019t remember anywhere in the Bible where Jesus said companies should collapse and where over 5,000 people find their daily bread, only one pastor should go and buy, turn it to church and keep the money all alone with his wife\u201d .<\/p>\n
He, however, argued that the country\u2019s economy can only stabilize if the manufacturing sector is vibrant and are constantly producing. \u201cRight from Tema, to Accra to Kasoa, people are busily building stores, for who to produce for them to sell?, this is seriously killing our economy\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
Counting on operational challenges of his company and other private manufacturers, J.A Biney cautioned that the country\u2019s teaming joblessness pose a security threat to the nation and it is about time President Mahama turned attention to the manufacturing sector to prevent future uprising.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am making only one passionate appeal to President Mahama to inject working capital into the manufacturing sector. When industries are in mass production cost of living will come down in this country and there will be lots of jobs for people as well\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
