Chief of Staff Julius Debrah has said the Ashanti Region will become the entrepreneurial paradise of Ghana in the next administration of President John Dramani Mahama.
Mr Debrah, who is in the Ashanti Region on a five-day campaign tour, said the area was in the best position to boost industrialisation and entrepreneurship considering the readiness of the people to explore available opportunities.
Mr Debrah, who was addressing journalists in Kumasi, said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under President Mahama would continue to boost economic activities by supporting the citizenry.
“Industrialisation can thrive in Ashanti again. If you look at the people in the region, they are by nature entrepreneurs; they have the flair for entrepreneurship. If you pick from the timber industry to commerce to construction, you always see that people within the Ashanti Region are good at it. Even if you look at farming, anything they set their minds to do they make sure they do it properly and they become very successful and, so, as a government you are serving the people better if you can lend a hand or give them a push to something that they already have a competitive urge and those are the things that inform our decision to boost entrepreneurship and industrialisation in the Ashanti Region if the president gets a second nod,” he stated.
“Talking about industrialisation, there are segments within industrialisation. There are people interested in small enterprises, others will be interested in medium enterprises, and others in large-scale manufacturing activities. So, our objective and aim cover all these. For example, in China they will say Beijing is the political capital of China. If you pick Shanghai, they will tell you it is the financial capital of China; Guangzhou is the trade hub. Our thinking is that Ashanti should be the entrepreneurial paradise of Ghana in the next administration of President Mahama.”

Mahama says, if even he constructs roads with gold in Ashanti, they will not appreciate it. what kind of a prez talks to his people like that? I feel suffocated under this administration. they must go. Mahama must go. ndc must go. I am tired of ineptitude, arrogance, childishness, shear ***barred word*** combined with square pegs in round holes and the massive ***barred word*** of state resources to set up businesses in Dubai. Fire burn them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS TOO LATE. THANK YOU. NANA WILL COME AND DO IT BETTER.
If you have any help give it to the ewes and north because you owe them big time. We Ashantis can solve without any government in Ghana
Eish, my friend, what about Kyebi which was described by your boss as "galamsey headquarters?" Your boss will make Ashanti entrepreneurial paradise and the Eastern "Sodom and Gomorra?" Voters up to you.
By the time the NPP finished insulting you, as they always do,the number 3 on the ballot paper will be full of inks. Keep the good work. More VIM #RetireNana@72#NoAbaabas3 #JMToaso #UsainBoltVictory
These are the enemies the Bible says we should bring them before me and slay them in Luke 19:29 inconsistency lairs in their delivery, if they con tune with this they shall see no rest in their life time I pray with love for them to be diligent in their duty of services
I wonder what they have been doing in the Ashanti region for the past 8 years.
Too late to coerce us, Mr Twerp. The Nsawam Prison is waiting for you guys, as the evil that men do lives after them.
Ooooh, funny folks! Debrah, do you really know the people you are talking to? They have brains to recount what you and your government have been doing to them. Let me ask you one question; how come you and your mahama don't have money to finish the Sofoline over-pass but have money to put-up a toy at the Nkrumah circle? An over-pass that can't carry trucks, tweaa!!
Julius, Ashanti are not syupid. Are they now going to appreciate JM?
