Why Are Richmen Not Building Factories For The Youth Of Ghana To Get Job To Do?

Sometimes the during discussions among folks, the question some Ghanaians ask is why are richmen not building factories for the youth of this country to get job to do? Some even ask that is it selfishness?

The answer to the above questions is explained in a narration by a business owner below.

 “I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.

The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. 

Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible, Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. 

The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we’ve uncovered is not done by a single person, it’s usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management. 

There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year.But I’ve found a solution. I now use Indian expatriate management. So competent, so honest and so straight forward. 

Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Africans are only allowed in non-sensitive positions.” The business owner narrated.

The Effect Of Dishonesty Towards Work

We always complain of the economy and how there are no jobs. A lot of people abroad would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Ghana but they can’t because getting a trustworthy person to run it is difficult like getting a 25 years old virgin girl.

So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they’ll just buy treasury bills, while the we keep shouting no jobs and food.

Dishonesty Everywhere

Start a poultry farm and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they’ll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they’ll be pocketing your money. On the days you’re around at the business, the money realized will be 10 times of the money realized when you’re not around.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even attendants in ordinary provisions shop, or kiosks will find a way to steal from the small investors.

What We Need To Do

Some business owners pay less to their workers but that doesn’t justify stealing. Although is tough but let’s try our best to be honest with entrepreneurs.
