Concerns over the performance and management of Ghana\u2019s State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) have once again come to the forefront, following strong warnings from government officials that underperforming entities may soon face sweeping reforms, mergers, privatisation, or outright closure.<\/p>\n

At the center of the renewed debate is the insistence that loss-making public institutions can no longer justify paying bonuses while struggling financially. The message, delivered by Thomas Ampem Nyarko<\/span><\/span>, signals a shift toward stricter fiscal discipline and accountability in the management of public enterprises.<\/p>\n

Speaking during an engagement with the State Interests and Governance Authority<\/span><\/span> (SIGA), the Deputy Finance Minister did not mince words. He questioned the logic of awarding incentives in institutions that are failing to generate profits or even break even.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make sense that you make losses and pay bonuses\u2026 Bonus comes out of profits or surplus,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His remarks have since sparked a broader national conversation about governance, efficiency, and the future of SOEs in Ghana.<\/p>\n
