    It's time to put to use the theory of international trade: produce goods for which there is great local demand and import those for which there's little demand. Kantanka has shown the way; let other like-minded Ghanaians foll ...

    If the vehicle engine and the transmission are built by Kantanka then it's a step in the right direction. That's how Japan and GM motors started. The other parts can be imported because of economic of scale and cost.

    Madanfo, it's all second hand education. The Disciplines are structured On CHEW & POUR BASICS. And even when it's acquire externally, setting foot on Ghana would be contaminated by the culture. Take your pick.

    Not taking anything away from the 'Kantanka' warriors, I wish to thank all the respondents of this article for thinking Ghana and not the partisan politics of this 'gospel'. God bless our nation and more good "disciples".

    Do we as a nation appreciate the rigorous tests that are carried out before cars are certified for use? Which state institution has carried out any tests on these cars? What is wrong with us as a people?

  • Counselor 9 years ago

    Opia you have a point there. For safety reasons to drivers and pedestrians rigorous tests have to be made before these cars could roam the streets of Ghana!

  • AAN 9 years ago

    Ghana government would buy a lot of the cars but would not pay. Mr. Safo Jnr, this is pure business. Do not sell to the government on financing basis. The government would run the company down.
