Managing Director of Ghana Post Company Limited, Bice Osei Kuffuor has revealed that despite his involvement in politics and public administration, he has not given up yet on his music career.
Known in music circles as 'Obuor', the Ghana Post MD said currently, his music career is on a long break
Speaking on The Pulse, Tuesday, the former President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) noted that he may go back to doing music.
“Music is on break, I would never give up on music. I mean Nana Ampadu sang till he was 76, how old am I? I’m still a young guy and I’m creating music so music, I’m on a long break, maybe who knows?” he told Host of The Pulse, Blessed Sogah.
Ghana Post Company Limited was named in the State Ownership report as one of the State-Owned Enterprises that is non-performing.
Commenting on challenges facing the Ghana Post Company Limited, therefore, Mr. Osei Kuffuor noted that regulations governing their operations make it difficult to compete with private entities in the courier business.
“For instance, at Ghana Post, if I get a new contract right now and somebody wants me to bring some 100 motorbikes to do some distribution for them. To buy these 100 motorbikes, Ghana Post has to go to Public Procurement Authority (PPA), it also has to sit once a month to give you approval to even bring people to come and tender, so that whole process sometimes takes about three months. By the time you have to get back, your competitors have gone with that business and so that is immediately the key challenge that we face,” he stated.
He stressed that the current poor financial state of the company is due to the fact that the company is not subvented by the government, thus has to generate its own revenue.
“Ghana Post is a limited liability company. What it means is that from 1994 when Ghana Post became a limited liability company, government is no longer sub-venting Ghana Post. So Ghana Post works to pay itself, works to grow itself. I mean running an organization that has a staff strength of close to 2,000 is not an easy task. That’s why Ghana Post has that poor financial position,” he conceded.
