TRADE AND INDUSTRY MINISTRY.. FIRST CUSTOMERS OF THE KANTANKA CARS.

The Ministry of Trade and Industry would be
the "first customers" of the Kantanka brand of
cars when they are produced in commercial
quantities, the sector Minister has promised.
Dr Ekow Spio Gabrah who made the pledge
during the Kristo Asafo 34th Annual Technology
exhibition, Sunday, also indicated he would buy
one of the cars for his personal use, hoping that
the vehicles would go through the necessary local
and international licensing institutions.
The exhibition brought together leaders from the
major political parties as well as the
technological and entertainment industries.
Dr Gabrah in his address paid glowing tribute to
Apostle Kojo Sarfo and for the technological
feats he has chalked over the years saying the
achievements are in sync with government's
Made in Ghana policy.
The president only recently outdoored a Made-
in-Ghana committee, chaired by Dr Gabrah to
champion the production of made in Ghana
goods.
The minister said the successes of the Apostle is
a testimony that a black man can be a master
of his own affairs.
While promising a total government support for
the Kantanka products, the minister also called
for aggregate support from statutory
institutions to ensure the technologies produced
by Kantaka get international recognition.
The Minister expressed disappointments over
comments that National Service personnel are
not posted to the Apostle Safo School of Arts
and Technology.
He promised to speak with the Education
Minister as well as officials at the National
Service Secretariat to ensure that in next
postings the school benefits.
Unemployed Graduates
Dr Ekow Spio-Gabrah also charged members of
the Unemployment of Association of Ghana to
take advantage of the education being imparted
at the School of technology.
He said those with linguistics background can be
converted into technological genuises at the
Apostle Safo school of technology.
