Ian Walker<\/strong><\/p>\n

The British High Commissioner to Ghana, Ian
\nWalker, sometime last week, paid a working visit to the Director-General of the
\nState Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), Stephen Asamoah-Boateng.<\/p>\n

The visit was to enable him get a better
\nunderstanding of the operations of the newly established organisation.<\/p>\n

He was received on arrival by Asamoah-Boateng
\nwho briefed him on the developments that led to the repeal of the acts relating
\nto the defunct State Enterprises Commission (SEC) and the Divestiture
\nImplementation Committee (DIC) and the subsequent establishment of SIGA. <\/p>\n

He further hinted on the expansive objects
\nof SIGA which included promoting within the framework of government policy, the
\nefficient or where applicable profitable operations of the specified entities,
\nensuring that specified entities adhere to good corporate governance practices;
\nacquiring, receiving, holding and administering or disposing of shares of the state
\nin state-owned enterprises and joint venture companies.<\/p>\n

He added that as part of its mandate, SIGA
\nhad a responsibility to not only oversee and administer the interests of the state
\nin specified entities, but also ensure that state owned enterprises and joint
\nventure companies introduce effective measures that promote the socio-economic
\ngrowth of the country including, in particular, agriculture, industry and
\nservices in accordance with their core mandates.<\/p>\n

But as a new shareholder of all the
\nentities in which the state has interests, Asabee as he is affectionately
\ncalled, intimated that the Authority had undertaken some substantive measures
\nwith the view to enhancing good corporate governance practices, maintaining
\nphysical discipline as well as promoting efficiency in performance. <\/p>\n

On his part, the high commissioner expressed
\nsatisfaction with the relationship that continued to exist between Ghana and
\nUK, more importantly between the high commission and the SEC, as it used to be;
\nand assured the director-general of the continuous collaboration between them.<\/p>\n

He hinted his host about some upcoming
\nevents in the UK which he expected the Government of Ghana to be actively
\ninvolved in, including the African investment Summit on January 2020, where he
\nlooks up to the strong partnership being formed between the Bank of England and
\nthe Bank of Ghana as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission of UK and
\nits counterpart in Ghana. <\/p>\n

He also talked of the Republic Party\u2019s (GOP) Summit to be held in Glasgow, in September 2020. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
