As far as my searching has gone, there exists no coherent entry on what the Flagstaff House is in Ghana. Even wikipedia has no entry on it--except the one in
Hong Kong, which bears the same name.
Suffice-to-say, it was supposed to be the seat of government, as prescribed by the our first President Osagyefo Dr.Kwame Nkrumah. However, off-late, it has been the subject of controversy, because Stanbic Bank--the very bank that
wants to take over the shares of Ghana's only
Agricultural Development Bank is now providing a loan for the
re-construction of Flagstaff House. All this
against much criticism from the minority National Democratic Congress in Parliament.
Now, please follow this logic:
1. Stanbic Bank wants to buy off Ghana's Agricultural Development Bank (responsible for providing micro-financing for farmers in the country)
2. Against the backdrop and furore
against the purchase by Stanbic, it decides...
3. to provide a loan for the re-construction of Ghana's seat of government
Do I smell
desperation
by Stanbic to profit from Ghana here?
Certainly, not in my name, thankyou!!
