“I am not that kind of person. We need to criticize what is wrong. We have to help politicians, we have to help the government come out with good policies.”

Drawing from his 30-year journey as an entrepreneur, McKorley expressed concern that some government ministers were out of touch with the needs of the business sector. He emphasized the importance of constructive criticism to help shape policies that benefit private enterprises, stating,

“It is government that has to help the private sector.”

McDan’s remarks have sparked conversations about the role of business leaders who benefit from government policies in holding authorities accountable. His stance underscores that personal gains should not silence individuals from advocating for broader economic and social interests.

While the administration has introduced initiatives to stimulate economic growth, concerns remain about policy effectiveness and transparency.

McDan’s call for open dialogue between policymakers and business leaders reflects a growing sentiment among entrepreneurs and citizens who want greater accountability and inclusive governance to drive Ghana’s economic development.
