  • NPP govt will make a National Equipment Leasing Policy

    NPP govt will make a National Equipment Leasing Policy

    Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Running Mate of NPP flagbearer, announced this at the launch of its 2020 Manifesto in Cape Coast on Saturday.

    The policy would save the government millions of Ghana cedis as it would offload the cost of maintenance of that equipment on a leasing company.

    The Party also promised to establish a National Transport Sector Recapitalization Policy to enable commercial vehicle operators to exchange their old vehicles with new ones and pay the cost overtime.

    This would breathe life into the local automobile manufacturing companies, get rid of rickety vehicles on the road as well as reduce the high incidence of road crashes.

    The Manifesto was on the theme, “Leadership of Service, Protecting our Progress, Transforming Ghana for All” was held virtually, and streamed live on major media outlets and social media platforms across the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The Manifesto was segmented into three parts-accounting for our leadership, consolidating our gain and plan for accelerating growth.

    The Manifesto is a social contract between the Party and the people. It outlines the programmes, policies and ideas it intends to implement should it wins power.

    The event was attended by government officials, traditional rulers and party bigwigs, with President Akufo-Addo officially outdooring the document.

    Vice President Bawumia added that the next NPP government would implement a National Rental Assistance Scheme with a seed fund of GHc100 million to enable gainfully employed Ghanaians rent decent apartments and pay it overtime.

    Giving accounts of the Akufo-Addo led government’s three and half years in office, Dr Bawumia said it had fulfilled 80 per cent of its promises, with over 300 achievements.

    The achievements, he said, cut across various sectors of the economy including many infrastructural development in the areas of roads, healthcare, agriculture, education and social interventions to ease the burden on the poor and vulnerable.

    The next NPP government, Vice President Bawumia assured, would consolidate the gains made so far and focus on its industrialisation drive including one-district,one-factory, Planting for Food and Jobs, Rearing for Export and Rural Development, commence the Integrated Aluminum and Bauxite, Iron and Steel projects as well as expand other existing programmes.

  • Mahama’s call for debate pointless, unnecessary – Pius Hadzide

    Mahama’s call for debate pointless, unnecessary – Pius Hadzide

    Deputy Minister of Information, Pius Enam Hadzide, has said it is unnecessary for a debate to take place between President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and former President John Dramani Mahama on infrastructure.

    He told Martin Asiedu-Dartey on the TV3’s News@10 Thursday August 20 that the kind of debate Mr Mahama is calling for has been ongoing within the media space among stakeholders since Tuesday August 18 after the Vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia recounted the achievements of the government with respect to infrastructure.

    The vice president had said since 2017, the government of President Akufo-Addo has initiated 17,334 infrastructural projects in this country.

    “Of these, we have completed 8,746 and there is 8,588 ongoing,” Dr Bawumia said.

    But Mahama on his campaign tour of the Volta Region called on Akufo-Addo to come for a one-on-one debate if he thinks that he has performed better than the previous administration.

    “I am willing to present myself for a debate with President Akufo-Addo any day, anytime, anywhere. And we will settle the matter once and for all,” Mahama said on Wednesday.

    Reacting to his call, Pius Hadzide said, “that invitation is pointless and unnecessary.

    “It is a desperate and smart way of Mr Mahama to run away from a discussion or debate that is already ongoing on infrastructure of the first term of every administration.”

    A member of the Conventions People’s Party Kwame Jantuah is of the view that manifestos prepared and released by political parties is a causal factor for financial loss.

    According to him, manifestos haven’t been of any help to the country and that a long-term development plan is needed.

    His reservation comes after the New Patriotic Party announced it would be inaugurating its manifesto on Saturday August 22, as the December polls is fast-approaching.

    Speaking on the Morning Starr with host Francis Abban, Mr Jantuah said “we need a long term development plan and also implement it because manifestos haven’t helped.”

    “I keep saying and I’ll continue saying that manifestos in this country keep causing us financial losses,” he added.

    Deputy Communications Director for the NPP Kamal-Deen Abdulai touching on the manifesto launch said “we promised a governance of transparency, truth and we are delivering and people can verify that.”

    “We have chosen the Central Region to launch our manifesto and to Kickstart our campaign towards the 2020 elections. But due to the COVID-19 protocols, it’s going to be limited in terms of attendance.”

  • PRE-COMMENCEMENT CERTIFICATION FOR BUSINESSES ABOLISH

    PRE-COMMENCEMENT CERTIFICATION FOR BUSINESSES ABOLISH

    The Registrar General Department in consultation with key stakeholders has abolished the key requirement that required businesses to obtain some form of pre-commencement of activities certificates prior to their commencement.

    In place of this, as a pivotal part of the quest to improve the ease of doing business in the country, only Certificates of Incorporation – being a legal document relating to the formation of a company or corporation – will now need to be issued henceforth, and this has now been incorporated in the Companies Act 2019 (Act 992).

    Per the new regime, an application for incorporation shall include a statutory declaration by each proposed director indicating that within the preceding five years, they have not been charged with or convicted of a criminal offence involving fraud or dishonesty, among other things listed in the new law.

    In effect, once the registration process involving a business is complete, a company can proceed to do business in the country. The move, according to the Department, is to simplify the registration process.

    “Therefore, there would be no minimum capital requirement before commencement of operations. However, companies with foreign participation would still have to comply with the Ghana Investment Promotion (GIPC) rules on minimum equity requirements”, a report from the RGD added.

    Importantly, it is mandatory that every type of business goes through the process of incorporation which involves the preparation of specific documents including Articles of Incorporation among other things.

    With respect to limited liability companies (LLCs), the main documents used to incorporate are the Articles of Organization.

    Instructively, when opening a business bank account, applying for any type of loan or selling shares to investors, the Certificate of Incorporation is one of the most important documents that a business is required, to provide as the document evidences that the company is properly set up.

    This requirement further specifies that the business is a legal entity captured on the public register of companies.
