The Chief Executive of McDan Group of Companies, Daniel McKorley, has said it takes boldness to establish and run business in the country.
During the Ghana CEO-Presidential summit held in Accra, the business magnate explained that the system of Ghana does not offer enough support to entrepreneurs.
He shared instances of challenges he faced while establishing his own business in Ghana, emphasising the difficulties he went through to build the McDan Group of Companies.
"Being a Ghanaian to do business in Ghana, you have to be brave, many times we don't support our own.
"I have tasted it, I have slept with it, and I living with it and it's quite dangerous and difficult," he said on Thursday.
Mr McKorley further noted that if the country had ten businesses that could generate $3.2 billion annually, the country would not need to seek financial aid from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to bolster the economy.
He also mentioned that he does not believe in manifestoes but rather a national agenda.
"If we can all work towards a single national agenda, and implement a straightforward policy to build the greatest businesses in the country for the next four, five, or 10 years, we have everything we need," he commented.
Mr McKorley went on to suggest that all Ghanaians should come together to contribute to the growth of the economy.
He urged everyone to assist the government, stating that they should not seek refuge in other countries as Ghana is their only home.
