  • Martin 9 years ago

    Did it ever occur to the author that perhaps asante businessmen are crooks and unscrupulous and that's why are the subjects of investigations?

  • Vodoo Xebieso 9 years ago

    Martin, not so fast! Just bear in mind that in business, the soul is legality and not morality. I beg to disagree with you, bros.

    If this is true, then I am totally against it. Are we sure these indivduals are not being targeted for other reasons apart from being Ashantis?

    If what is being alleged is true, it is good to tell. You can't talk about the positive things in Ghana when things are going wrong somewhere. This has to be exposed before it happens again.
