Most stupid comment ever. Do you know how long it took the vehicles on our roads to be assembled in some countries? I guess you are one of those blind believers who still prayer that one day the skies would open and vehicles fall on our roads. This man deserves the biggest of all the honours we give our statesmen because he has actually gone beyond 'talk' to 'do'.

If it took 12 years to assembly a brand car, it would already have been outmoded long before it hits the roads. Which isn't the case, looking at the vehicles since they are always within the latest model of cars running elsewhere. Just put your mind to it and stop fooling yourself. How many journalist in Ghana are relevant? They don't know Sh*t.

I think the reporter means it took 12 years to develop the car. You don't just start assembling a car from nothing. The main work is on the drawing board and takes years to develop.

I am so so so happy to hear that at long last KANTAKA AUTOMOBILES ARE GOING TO PRODUCE CARS IN THE NATION. In fact, I have been expecting it for a very long time but it has finally come to pass. We are going to use our own products thereby helping the economy to grow quickly. I pray for God's protection, long life and good health for the leader and founder Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo , his son who is the C.E.O and all his engineers. I strongly believe that he has trained so many people who can use same knowledge to produce more of these cars in his absence.Glory be to God.

This man's attitude offers a glimmer of hope to Ghanaians. A semi-illiterate who puts most of our university trained white-collar engineers to shame. They can solve complex equations on a blackboard and sign documents, yet manufacture nothing in their lifetime and make no change in this country. I hope they learn from him.

The sad thing about us Ghanaians is that we fail to recognize natural born talents and we rather look for degrees and people who have been to Oxford, Havard etc. Most of the pioneers of manufacturing in the developed world were people who never went to university. Look at Bill Gates: someone who never completed university. The Wright Brothers, who made the first airplane were just technicians. Look at Howard Hughes, a self-trained engineer who never went to university and yet even now, his company is still manufacturing aircraft. Sadly, here, we look down on these people and fail to recognize their potential. Some people are born engineers and when they fulfill their destinies they end up employing many university graduates and making an impact on the world.

Bastard, even in US human parts are imported for assemble so what's your problem? Modern globalisation makes it easier and cheaper for horizontal other than vertical production of goods. All one needs is patent a design and there you go people over the world ready to make parts for you. Apple is big example. Do you think BMW, MERC, VW, etc have all their parts etc. made in Germany? Now we don't even have vehicle manufacturing plants, they are all called assemble plants.

only the very highy mentally deranged will believe this.

The man Kantanka is doing well, but the fact is he is assembling parts imported from China. And there is nothing wrong with that, but he must not pretend he is manufacturing: he is assembling parts that have been produced somewhere.

Another fact is, his whole enterprise CANNOT design and produce just one car engine. It is not technically possible, because it takes a LOT of MONEY, complex infrastructure and very brilliant engineers and technicians (mechanical, electrical, IT) to design and produce a state-of-the-art car engine.

No wonder u are a China man. Literally meaning inferior or sub-standard man. You are a child in adults body. U think less. Let's give Kantanka the benefit of de doubt. He is making success, the inauguration is done and now the launch and official sale is from tomorrow. Why the pessimistic approach? Only time will tell. I don't think you, your useless self or your fucking parents have been able to manufacture a common tin car before. Inferiority complex will kill you. Reason bro. Useless being

Hey guys, there is nothing wrong in buying parts from around the world to assemble a product. No automaker in the world manufactures every part in its cars. The man is doing very well and needs commendation and support. Please say something positive to encourage him. Whether the parts are manufactured in Ghana or not is irrelevant! Even in advance countries, like USA, manufacturers import parts from China. There is nothing wrong for Kantanka Automotive to import parts from around the world. Ohene, keep the good work. God bless U!
