The Executive Chairman of the McDan Group of Companies, Dr Daniel McKorley, has cautioned against the politicization of businesses in Ghana.
According to him, the practice does not promote growth and development for the country.
His advice comes amidst the country’s preparation for its general election on December 7, 2024.
In an interview on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, Dr McKorley stressed the need for unity and a focus on national interests above partisan politics.
“I speak my mind, I stand for Ghana. Whatever we do, we have only one country; we cannot play politics with this country,” he said.
The Executive Chairman further criticised the cyclical nature of governance in Ghana, where new administrations often target businesses that were successful under their predecessors.
This unjustified targeting, Dr McKorley believed is a strategy to undermine existing businesses and create new ones aligned with the current regime.
“We cannot be in a country where one government comes and tries to kill the business of a businessman from another government, and another government will come, and when this government thinks your business was thriving under the previous government, they try to kill it and create another one, and the cycle continues,” he observed.
Dr McKorley also condemned the "winner takes all" mentality that he believes has plagued Ghana’s political landscape, arguing that it hinders the country's development and prosperity.
“We can’t run a country where ‘the winner takes all syndrome’ continues, then we will continue to languish as a country,” he stated.
