Happily, the two directors who caused PBC woes lost their bid to be NPP parliamentary candidates – Mahama

Former President John Dramani Mahama has said that the directors of the Produce Buying Company (PBC) will be investigated for their actions that caused the problems of the company.

Mr Mahama accused the two directors of attempting to seek refuge in Parliament from accountability, but God being so good, they lost their bid to be parliamentary candidates on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Speaking with cocoa farmers in Kumasi and the General Agriculture Workers Union on Thursday, February 8, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said, “The workers of PBC have not been paid for about 8 months to 9 months and it is not known when they will receive their salaries, it is instructive to note that two of the directors who have left PBC into the ditch could see that they had finished the company and so they were looking for new careers and so they went and stood as parliamentary candidates on NPP ticket and God doesn’t sleep.

Happily, they lost. Happily, they both lost, and we thank God that he made them lose, because you cannot behave like this, run a profitable company like this into the ditch and you want to bail out and go to Parliament. They have to stay and wait for accountability. When we come, we will probe what happened to PBC and hold them to account,” he said.

GAPNEWS Ghana moves to capture US$2.4bn China soya market. The hefty tariff on soybeans from the United States has caused a 17 percent import decrease of the produce into China in February 2019, being the lowest level recorded since 2015, General Administration of Customs – Chinese statistical agency, has revealed. In 2017, U.S. soybean exports to China reached a volume of US$14.573 billion. Currently, the United States is the world’s largest soybean producer and second largest exporter, after Brazil. On the other hand, China is the world’s largest importer of soybeans – imported 91 million tonnes in 2018 market year as against 94 million tones the previous year.

Although, imports of soybean to China has reduced by 17 percent, this does not mean that consumption has reduced in similar terms...

GAPNEWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH GHANA l am not too old neither am I too young and certainly I can’t admit to knowing all the problems confronting our dear Nation Ghana, but suffice as it will I have had the speck removed from my eyes and have seen the trajectory of our Governance process as a Nation with my eyes and have come to the conclusion of the very facts I dare state beneath. The trouble in Ghana is simply and squarely a leadership crisis finding its expression in the “volcanic” way of our practice of politics in Ghana. Let me hasten to indicate that there is nothing wrong with the Ghanaian, our land, our climate, our water, and our ability to think and do things for ourselves. The Ghanaian crisis stems from the roots of the unwillingness and the wanton disrespect for patriotism on the part of its leaders to rise to the responsibility of performance beneficial to the good people of Ghana. We have seen quite fairly or if you will strongly in the epoch of our political li...

Deputy Government Statistician, David Kombat has been explaining to the media in Accra that the rate recorded was highly influenced by the declining rate of food inflation in the measuring basket. "We have seen a slight decline in food prices especially vegetables as a result of the weather patterns. This usually happens when we're entering into the raining season and commodity prices begin to experience some dips but this is also accompanied by some reductions in certain components of the non-food items" he said.
