Fearless investors who continue to believe in Ghana

Lately, there seems to be some investment pandemonium, as it were, and the system looks like it is losing its grip on investors who are packing bag and baggage to leave the shores of Ghana without so much as an adieu.
Foreign investors come in two categories, genuine and camouflaged. The former come in to realise massive profits, albeit genuinely, while the latter run the economy down with money laundering activities and illicit trade, to the disappointment and chagrin of the populace who are, most-often-than-not, at the receiving end of malpractices and malfeasance. Majority of these investors are characterised by a unique trait and that is selfishness.
Hardly do we consider, though, that there are those genuine companies who have been in Ghana for decades, contributing their quota as they play fairly while they make their gains. Even in demanding circumstances when disappointment lurks in every deal and losses loom in every sale, the respective managements of these companies remain resolute.
One such company is Forewin Gh Ltd. I have no connection with these people whatsoever and do not have the privilege of association with them from near or afar but, really, their expansion, in light of these trying economic circumstances, in Ghana is awesome and laudable.
But how else can we say “thank you for believing in Ghana and Ghanaians” other than by acknowledging their efforts. From reliable sources, in addition to the multi-million dollar investment that they have in Ghana, they are embarking on another phase in this endeavour that would see them inject tens of millions of US Dollars into the system. A superficial study conducted on this company shows that they have assisted many traders become what they are today – key players in the food market.
Also, I am reliably informed that thousands of Ghanaians are gainfully employed in this company and no plans are in the offing to cut employment, contrary to ongoing employee layoffs that are currently taking place across board. This business is rather hiring more workers.
They believe in Ghana and Ghanaians. It seems that they are unperturbed by the current status quo of austerity and economic challenges, and just breaking even is enough to give them the impetus to contribute more to our society than what we the people of this country can do.
I implore the government to keep such investors close to their bosom and protect them, for not too many investors are as genuine as this one is.
I want to say thank you, Forewin, for believing in Ghana and, more so, for putting bread on the tables of thousands of families across the country. THANK YOU!
