The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government for allegedly causing the downfall of Produce Buying Company (PBC), Ghana\u2019s largest indigenous cocoa-buying firm.<\/p>\n
Mahama highlighted PBC as a stark example of mismanagement, noting that many Ghanaian companies are struggling under similar conditions.<\/p>\n
He drew attention to the plight of PBC workers, who have reportedly gone unpaid for 8 to 9 months without any clear timeline for salary payments.<\/p>\n
The former president made these remarks while addressing supporters during a campaign stop in Enchi Aowin, Western North Region.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn eight years, the economy has dwindled. When I was president, PBC bought 30 percent of Ghana\u2019s cocoa. Now they can no longer do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company has collapsed under this government. For eight years, they have not been able to pay the workers as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
