We also noted during the 2020 performance contract negotiations some fiscal indiscipline of some of the entities. SIGA has been directed to invoke the necessary articles in the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can a State Entity whose core function is to buy and sell a commodity that has a ready market and earn a commission, run into debts of hundreds of millions of Ghana cedis? Either someone doesn\u2019t care or that we run these State Entities with private agendas,\u201d the Vice President said.<\/p>\n<p>SIGA was established in 2019 by an Act of Parliament to put state-owned enterprises and joint venture corporations on the path of profit-making.<\/p>\n<p>Among other things, the Authority which took over the role of the then State Enterprises Commission works to increase profitability within the framework of government policy.<\/p>\n<p>It also exists to introduce effective measures that promote the socio-economic growth of the country, including in particular, agriculture, industry and services in accordance with their core mandates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Thursday, 9 January 2020 Source: www.citibusinessnews.com 2020-01-09 Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has asked the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), to sanction managers of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) who fail to operate in line with laid down procedures to churn out profits.
