An American Business man and Managing Director of Alafei Foods Company Limited, Claude D Convisser has linked the slow growth of Ghana’s economy to the continuous demand of bribes by people in authority from potential investors.
The American investor who has lived in the country for the past six and half years indicated that, Ghana would have been the lead business country in West Africa but for the continuous demand for bribe.
He lamented how many officials in government demanded huge sums of money from him before they could lead him to the appropriate managers when he was seeking to establish his factory, “Alafei Foods Ltd”.
He said his consistent refusal to pay bribe as always been demanded had led to government not granting him a letter of intent to seek funds for his factory.
