Tweneboa Kodua Fokuo, the newly appointed Managing Director (MD) of the National Investment Bank (NIB), has dismissed concerns over his dual role as the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Manso Nkwanta Constituency in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n
Fokuo\u2019s appointment has sparked controversy and criticism, particularly from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), who questions the Bank of Ghana\u2019s decision to approve a Parliamentary Candidate as the Chief Executive (CEO) of a struggling state bank during an election year.<\/p>\n
However, in an interview on Joy FM on Monday, Kodua Fokuo emphasized his commitment to his work at NIB, stating that he has never left the office for party work unless it was his leisure time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do my work assiduously\u2026 I have no challenge in ensuring that the bank is run properly\u2026 There is not a single day that I have been outside the office that I am doing party work\u2026 If I will be outside the office that is my leisure time,\u201d Fokuo said.<\/p>\n
The newly appointed MD also stressed that he sees no conflict between his roles, stating, \u201cI don\u2019t see any challenge. It doesn\u2019t conflict with my official work at the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kodua Fokuo emerged victorious over four other contenders in the NPP\u2019s parliamentary primary for the Manso Nkwanta Constituency.<\/p>\n
His appointment as the NIB Managing Director has raised concerns about the potential conflicts of interest that may arise during the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n
However, the MD has assured the public that his roles as a Parliamentary Candidate and the head of the state-owned bank will not interfere with each other, as he remains dedicated to the efficient management of NIB.<\/p>\n
