Stop blaming; provide solutions - Dr. Senzu charges businesses
Dr. Tweneboah Senzu, Managing Director of Bastiat
Society Ghana, an economic think tank, has charged
various business associations to explore
opportunities in the current economic challenges
facing the country.

He therefore asked the associations to stop
blaming government and rally their members to
provide solutions to the economic doldrums.

Dr. Senzu in a statement also urged business
associations to adopt mitigation strategy, such as
the provision of reliable and innovative business
development information, to protect their
members.

The approach, he was convinced, would guide their
members against unexpected economic shocks.

“We at Bastiat Society believe that, when
government policies and strategies are failing, it
is the responsibility of management of business
associations to see far into the future and read
it opportunities and threat,” Dr. Senzu said.

He added: “If it was only to just be informed
about the nature of business environment and its
impact on individual businesses, I believe
majority of members who are in such associations
would have never joined the groups in the first
instance, because information travels faster these
days to get informed”.

He observed that members have lost confidence in
the various business associations, some with
yearly subscription of over GH₵ 1,000,
because they failed to solve challenges facing
businesses.

He said Bastiat Ghana's focus is to see to it that
unproductive SMEs are position to be scalable and
productive to the benefit of the economic growth
of Ghana.

“We want to reduce as much as unproductive small
scale enterprises in Ghana,” Dr. Senzu
promised.

In view of that, he said Bastiat Ghana is
organising a maiden Entrepreneurship Conference in
Accra to facilitate the reduction of unproductive
small scale enterprises in the country.

The conference which is opened to the business
community is scheduled to take place on September
12 at the British Council Hall on the theme:
“Reliable alternative solution for business
growth and principle wealth making.”

The conference is expected to be replicated in
Western and Ashanti regions as well.
