Do you agree with Kwamin Khuma that a black man is capable of managing his own affairs? Absolutely, absolutely. Because Kwamin Khuma was doing it before his pretty almost cash out. The way he was building factories, Kwamin Khuma started everything where, where, where, where, but probably I don't know, I don't do politics, right? But I believe he was on the right path. He said he was in the teacher. I was young then, I was also at the village here. So I didn't know much about Kwamin Khuma, but what I've read about him, you know, I, I think if Kwamin Khuma was to be there, I tell my city in this twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty-five years, it's gonna have been, have been where we are now. But I've talked about the reason already. I believe Africa can rise up again. You believe that Africa can rise up again, which means that you think industries can help build Africans' economy? Yes, industries and the farming are great. These two things, because industry, high industry, you can play five people, ten people, I have a bit industry, five people, ten people, then that, we mop up the excess labor on the streets. So industries is a key, are great, it's a key, but buying sale, I'm afraid, will not help us. If you buy something from China, we empower the China manufacturer, right? Yeah. So why do we present our look at Koku? Why do we send our Koku fresh, I mean in the raw form? Why don't we process it? The timber that we shipped to the whites, see, when the Kulingham masters came here, they taught us to ship the Koku to them, the raw form. And from that time to this time, we are selling, copying the same thing. If you don't put value on our materials, and then just ship to them, you can process it and you can import it. So definitely they will come every week. So I believe Ghana, if our economy is imported, oriented, you know, as sports oriented, I don't think it's very good for us. My name is Wadamaya, the one and only annoying village boy from Ghana who is on a journey to change the narrative, and I'm on a journey to celebrate Africans that are doing extraordinary things that no one is talking about them. And you are the man that is doing extraordinary in Ghana that I feel like no one is celebrating. I don't need to be celebrated. Why you don't need to be celebrated? I don't think I'm deserve to be celebrated. A village boy from the village, I don't need to be celebrated. Since he's a village boy, you are not a village boy. A village uncle. A village boy coming back to my roots. So I enjoying my retirement, quietly. So you're just trying to say you're an ordinary man? Sure, yeah. But I just want to tell you that you've done something extraordinary. Okay, okay. To you fine, but let's move on. Let's move on. You are the founder of the leading beverage manufacturing plant in Ghana. In terms of local, like indigenous, that one you accept. I have to make sure you accept that one. How does that make you feel? Good, I feel good. I feel good. You know, when you succeed in something, it's a feeling, I feel good. When you go to school, you pass. I think you pass with excellence. You come proud. If you are a farmer, I think you are proud. But the work that we are doing, I don't know you from Adam, but I believe people are talking about you. So I believe you're also proud of yourself. So I'm proud of what I have achieved about background. Your brand name is Kasaprekum. Yes. What is the origination of the name Kasaprekum? Kasaprekum is the name of what's happening in the traditional area, the parliament chief. He was my company after him, because he was my God's father. I wanted to portray the name. To me, in the olden days, it wasn't well known. But for me, because I'm a traditionalist, I came to him one day. I told him, I want to use your name. I want to use your name. I told him, I want to use your name. I told him, I want to the palace of Sokropon. Officially, I had seen that. I had to use your name from my company. I said, OK, I'll give it to you. I only protected it. That's what he told me. Only protected it. But I think the name Kasaprekum in English. Literally means straight to the point. And you are straight to the point? OK, fine. I'm a straight shooter. I'm a straight shooter. I just want to know, as a straight shooter, how did it all start from Kasaprekum from scratch? How did it start? Kasaprekum started in 1989 with five workers. Only five workers. Because I was then living at Nugwa. And I thought I saw some good cars and started a business. And I asked, who is this owner of this car? Who is this owner of this business? They said, New CP. And they said, OK, OK. What did they say? They are all alcohol manufacturers. OK, it's OK. As a business-oriented person, it's OK. Why don't I try my hand on it and see whether it will work? So that's what I have. I got my parts. and I got my tools. As many of them were doing you know, a cruel way of doing things. So I just started it with five workers buying new bottles and boiling the tube of bottles. I could not afford the browning bottles. Washing it with these brushes. With five workers. So for the first, I think for the first  APPLAUSE න්ඨතය esca opposite świ Smash, විඦිට දමු වමලපා Bismனලර statement Both were really stupid. And they called me, as usual, ▶න්වහ Again, it seems real. 我们沉 beautiful years old.  appearances before of... වෙත, 1953 -... They told me they were using a flavor called duck width. I remember a very duck-wheat flavor. I go to the person, what flavor are you using? It's a duck-wheat. So I was just analyzing duck-wheat, you know, and the same alcohol, from the same sauce. So I think to myself, if about 40 manufacturers, you're all using duck-wheat, the taste will be the same, the alcohol will be the same, so then what make you creative, you know? So I thought that one would not help me. And being a creative person, I said okay, I will make a research and see if I can change the narrative a bit. So I travel to UK and make a research and I found out that you can use other flavors, you know, instead of that duck-wheat, in fact I want to see that duck-wheat man myself. I went with him myself, you know, yes, but I said okay, we cannot all use one flavor. I think it would be a bit different from a hot person, a hot prevailing. Actually that made a trick. So I brought in a different flavor and added it to my, I didn't go away with the duck-wheat, I just bought about three flavors, you know, and then from there I think my product became distinctive from others. I went out and came and the request told me that you've sold 25 curtains. I said ah, you sold 25 curtains today? So yes, you sold 25, but 25 curtains because you could, the bear could sell five curtains, three curtains, four curtains at times, you sell it to them, you say you don't like it. I was using the watchman, the police manager, the sales manager myself, so at times I put the drinks to the bus, through a charge, a sampling, I go and say they said they don't like it. It became a bit depotivated, but when they told me, I said I changed the curtain and they told me they sold 25 curtains, I said wow, which means there is a light at the end of the tunnel. So yes, so I kept that as a secret. I remember one of the time, a colleague of mine who was also a manufacturer came to me and said what flavors am I using? I said the reason why he was asking me that question was that he was at the bar and there was a certain man, a certain young boy came to the bar and asked that he wanted to buy because of a dry gene and the father said if it doesn't get a broken dry gene, it should buy appetite. Why is it that people are pointing at a broken dry gene? So okay, which means that will do the trick. So I started doing a bit of advertisement and trying to maintain the quality. What I wanted to do was that when I saw that my products were a bit extensive from the others, as well as I said I am going to with a brand, with a brand. If my friends told me that, why are you saying your brand is Kasafrekon? It's too local, you know, yeah, because most of the local manufacturers are using Prince Charles, Sid Abans, Heritage, those white names, you know, but I said no. Musubuchi is a brand from overseas, it's a Japanese name or something, they didn't know. So I said okay, I will use, I will maintain the Kasafrekon brand. Once it becomes popular, that will be extensive from, part of the taste, the leaves also should be extensive. So my focus was to build a brand. I knew brand can be built, but it takes a lot of time before it can be a brand. That's how I started. Mr. Rachel, there's one thing that I want to know, yeah? If you go to every company, there's one product that stands out. I really want to find out here at Kasafrekon, what is that special product that made the company where it is today? Okay, so for Kasafrekon, a lot more because of what has made the company what it is today. A lot more because? Yes, the popular a lot more because it's made by Kasafrekon. Yes, it's made by Kasafrekon and it's produced right here in this factory, which I will go and show you. What kind of gin go the breakthrough for you? Oh, I mean, they were buying the gin. The Kasafrekon? Sure, yeah, they were buying it a lot. They were buying it because of the taste, because it was extensive from the others. They were buying it. At a plant, that's why we changed from the firewood to sodas to gases. From the 25, they were buying. They were buying. And then what actually changed the relative completely was when I decided to bring in the bitters. It transitioned from Kasafrekon dry gin to Aalomo bitters. Aalomo bitters, and Aalomo bitters is the one which is worldwide right now. Exactly, yes, worldwide right. Because it's also, because it's a fastener product. You know, it's a fastener product. Because Aalomo bitters have about seven plants, you know, seven plants into the bitters. But the secret was that when I came to the industry, when we were manufacturing industries, and we were doing the gin and the sannows and those things that everybody was doing, I asked myself that, what can I also bring to the industry? You know, what creativity? What invention I could bring on board? So I dreamt myself that there's something called bitters. I thought it's called bitters, but it's bitters. And these bitters, our forefathers used to chop their roots, put it in the bottle, I put the alcohol on it, consume it. When it's finished, they add another alcohol on it, consume it. You know, when they finish, they add another one. Till the liquid becomes pale. And then they take off the herbs or chop roots and put another one. You know, if I said, because if you put alcohol on herbs, in the bottle, you keep it a day or two, it will be very concentrated. But after the first shot, after you drink the first liquid, and you add another liquid to the same herbs, you don't get the same taste. You won't get the same concentration. Which means you won't get the same efficacy. So I said, okay, what can I do to make sure that if you are producing bitters, you should have the same consistency. If it's medicinal property, it should be the same consistency. It should be the same taste, the same color, the same efficacy. I asked myself this question. And then, okay, once I said, okay, that's what I wanted to do. But how do you do it? I'm a scientist. So I thought that I should come to my village. Both of them are here because there are so many tablets here. I'm not from a village person. So we are using trees to cure ourselves. Because at that time, don't help us right here. So definitely, if you have malaria, you use the herbs. If you break your legs, you use the herbs. If you have headache, you use the herbs. So it's okay. Should I go here, put them on two ground, get the herbs. I come and use this formulation. But the best thing to my ears is that no, if you go to Bonyama, you can get the herbs. But the procedure might not be the best. So because herbs, we have the good herbs and the bad herbs. Some herbs are very poisonous. That scared me from coming here. Because if somebody give me the wrong one, I kill people. No. So the idea came to me that I should go to the center. No, I first went to, I dated to food or substitute and told him my dream. But he told me they can do it. So I went to the center for a center to satisfy his health medicine. They told me also that they don't do commercial business. Because it's a government institution. I came back disappointed. But I didn't accept it. I went there about four times. I sent them, please. If you cannot give me the formulation, then supply me all what I will use. So that's why I asked me that, okay, what do you want to do? I told them that one, I want to bring bitters that not to treat, but that can help with pulse, you know, movement of pulse, menstrual cramps, body pains, blood circulation, and also manpower, like Viagra, right? Yes, that one. Because our forefathers, you using that. You see, the thing behind that one is that. Our cheese, they used to bury three or four or five. And then when they carried them in the parenqueen, they tend to train some things. So if you are doing celebration, that's what I had, you know, I'm here to contain that. And you do celebration and achieve our three wives. You go to, only we are one wife and we are tired. There are a percent of jealous. So you have to pump yourself. That's why they train these sort of things. But I wanted ours to be very authentic. That's why I want to centre for scientific research to plan medicine to give me the formulation. So they agreed to do it for me. So I funded them. I give them money to do the research. So they ordered the Abenian rats according to them. The look hours, you know, the Abenian are so strong. They give them the job and they are moving, you know. So they had to import the Abenian right, which is acceptable. But those ones are groomed. So about one year for them to do their research for me and give me the formulation. And they were supplying us with the concentrates. They told me, they told me blood circulation, menstrual cramps, manpower and all these ones. So if you are talking about malaria, you go down. Mariria is very, very serious. So let's add anti-mariria drugs, helps to it. That's going to that day. So yes, that's okay. Why not? You can add. So all in the bitters. All in the bitters. So why they centre give me the formulation. I came and then started working on the on the bitters. And also took me some time for people to know what I was doing or to accept it. That time we are selling the jeans and the slams. So I told some of the salesmen that you are for only aluminum bitters. Because they will only go for the fast selling ones, the jeans. This is a new product. Nobody knew about it. So they will not sell. You give to them, so they bring it back. So you are for only aluminum bitters. One day about three months later, I went out again. And I came to the office. I saw people, multitude of people. But I thought there had been an accident. So what is going on? What is going on here? Has anything happened here? So no, no, no. Do you want to buy aluminum bitters? Buy goodness. So then we have started talking. We have started talking. A lady who was selling some told me that he was selling aluminum bitters. And the men, when they come and say give me one shot, they take it and they dodge. So then people, if you are selling the first-hand products, you take it to work for you. Not only for the manpower aspect, but also for the body pairs, the base rack lamps. I went to the same mountain funeral. And a certain woman was hiding. Aló bitters, you know, queen mother inside the cloth. Why? Why? You had in the water. I said, oh, the other people are wearing hair. Give me, give me a thought. Because when you also took it, there was a lot of this just coming out of the eyes. So he doesn't want to share it. So that's why I saw that, oh, this thing was working. But one thing is that, when I saw that, the other competitors were using ordinary water. Right? I brought in filtration system. You know, so it's a long filtration system on the wall. We had to make our own custom made curtains. Right, curtains. So I thought, if you look at the imported product, they all come in uniform curtains. They all come in uniform bottles. And also how do we compete? How do we move from that low level to a bit higher level? That's why I decided to go into that. But when I started using the bottles, and the other people wanted to use my water, I said no. But they didn't, I actually fought me. They didn't fight me, but they stopped. After some resistance, they stopped. They stopped using the main bottles. Okay. And then, so my product, our product was like the touch of the town. So they saw that if they don't copy it, it means they will be out of business. So most of them also started using their own bottles and their own curtains. But even then, even then, most of them couldn't turn the competition. The company started from that low level to where it is right now. But for me, I want to ask as a local manufacturer, knowing that money is not easy to come by in here. What did you get the money to start initially? Initially, we are all doing, actually we have five curtains. We don't need money to do five curtains business. But one thing that helped me was my credibility. So when I wanted to get, let's say, product alcohol or curtains on credit, because people knew our pay, they were bringing it. That's why it said that good leave is better than riches. It helped me a lot. I still helping me sell, I'm living on my name. Then you will see, you get good credit. Good credit, they can give you money and you pay. So the same thing, because of the way I live, even my own competitors, but see, I did that surprisingly. I did that alcohol, 10 drums. Before I started and counted, they put 10 drums there. So they know by all means, and my product sells fast. I want the sales I could be able to do. I will not use your money to grant you something else because I know that I owe you, I will give it to you. And that helped me a lot. I'm selling to them that one, that owe you a pay. That owe you a make sure that you get money I pay. So because you have a very fast consumer product, and then people will give you money. To sell fast and pay him. So when their businesses were not growing up, they tend to give me, in fact, they were bringing alcohol to sell. And you know that if I give you to me and I will pay, he was not more interested in manufacturing rather, he put on that I buy. And then, so most of the people were bringing alcohol and selling it to me. But I remember I had to go to ADB to go and take a loan. But I went to Bucking's Bank. I was refused the credit. I went to Kosa Bank, the same thing. So that is where I did a course with MPRTEK. It was organized by American Government also. So it was a very intensive course. They advised us that if you have a local entrepreneur, I want to go to the big shorts. They will not bother you. They won't mind you. Because you are a small drop in the big ocean. So go to local banks who are close to you. From there I went to Tessie to go and seek the loan. And even they were trusting me up and down. Fortunately for me, I was there one day, their MD came to the city house, came to the branch. And then he asked me what was my problem there. So I said, where is your guys? I want the loan. They said they will give it to me. But up and down, go and come, go and come. So they make me upset. They told me, okay, who are you? I introduced myself to him. So okay, you come and visit my facility. You got to say I'm making alcohol. And see how best can assist me. The MD of ADB called Otakoransi. Otakoransi. So the next few days, I didn't take it seriously. Before I could see he was in my office. My office was like half of this place. He came there and we did about a week or two. He gave me the facility. So we came our friend actually. Since then, we came our friend. And then he was a politician. So when I attended, his government was out of power. And I saw him go to farm, with a small car. I said, doctor, I would like to work with me. I said, okay, save and give opportunities. You come and work with me. So then I employed him as a MD. Wow. Yes. I mean, he was MD of ADB. Yeah. He was MD of ADB. Come on, what about my facility? Yes, so he was with me till he died. So what would mean, become the MD. Very selfless person. I have not seen anybody like that before. Since they gave me a loan, became friends, right? And when he came to, so I also give me a house. One day I said, doctor, let's go. Let's observe something. I didn't tell him. So when I went, I said, take this key, open this house. Open it, I said, okay, this house for you. Just like that. Because he helped me. No, he helped me. I mean, that man never did anything that, he wasn't a businessman. Yeah. He was a technocrat, right? But he had the dignity. He would not do the typical that he would conize. Yeah. He worked with the heart. You know, so he worked with me. Till he died and I buried him. When he was growing, when he grew around him, because he had been an MD of ADB, the whole country, ADB, right? And then come an MD in Kesapeake. You know, because he was advising me. We took him as my elder brother. So sometimes I have issues, you come to my house and you sort it out and you go to work. Selfless person. But what is the secret behind the success or the growth of Kesapeake? The whole thing is about the flair to succeed. The flair to succeed. You should get the ambition, you know, to make it, that ambition that, yes, I can. That's also the point that if you're a champion, you should be able to take points, right? Yeah. So you fall. But as a businessman, you have your up and down. How many times did you fall? A lot, because even at that time, we were talking about the same dollar, CD, persuasion, right? But one thing was that for me, fortunately, because the brand was powerful, right? The brand was powerful. It went on supply. The demand was always more than the supply. Just like I wake right now. I wake that we are drinking. People call me, you know, you want to wake, you can't get it. So definitely in that area, quite a few companies were collapsing. My was going because of the quality, you know, the quality, not only the a little bit test, right? But also the gene and other brands, because I made sure that I always invest in the business, you know. So my profit that I get, I'm going to come and build such a house. No, I already invest the profit in the business. So I will always buy in a good equipment, good equipment, expanding it, expanding it, expanding it. And I want to proceed that you have a good brand, you know. That's it. It's about brand. If you, if you have given you a brand, if you have given you a brand, brand you a brand and brand you to your child. Which brand will you take? Who say I will take a brand? Why? Well, the name is there. So in business for me, talk about quality, quality, quality. That is it. What was the major challenge that you face when you started this business? Money, money, cash, you know. It was no cash flow. No cash flow. Because I mean, just like, you know, the people are buying, you ought to buy, but you don't have money. You have to go to take a loan from the bank. What was the percentage that time? It was high. It was high, but it could be about 20% that time for God, 35 to 40% that time. Yes. But if you take a loan and then you are paying 40% interest and you make 60% on your under tens, you cash in 20%. So at a matter of fact, there was a time that there was too much pressure on the product how to increase the price twice in a month. Well, the demand was too much. You know, I thought too much pressure, so let's increase it to reduce the demand. I increased it sell to go buy them, you know. So the interest was not too much of a bother to me. So I took the loan and produced and pay off, because I knew the money was there when it's coming. So the best thing is to grow, you call it a tipping product. I've been telling my children, always try to make a tipping price when it comes to our store. We discuss it. Let people care for your products. Why? They are demanding that, you know, they don't even care about the price, too much about the price. You started from your house. My house. What was the first ever factory that you built apart from your house? For review from my house, I kept demolition because it was growing. My house, my own house, I got right. So I even pulled down my own burden. My own burden made the base as a factory. And then I moved up. Later on, I moved from there and used the roof up and down as a factory. Because the land was big, the land was big. I met all the factories. And we are actually loading on the streets. My name is Wilay Akunu Ata. I'm the senior manager of research and development for Herbal Farms and Research Limited. This is the first out of group chairman. This is where he used to live. And this is where he started Kasaprako Company Limited. We currently use it for the production of concentrate. Kasaprako Company Limited. It grew out of proportion. We produce and we are loading on the streets, suddenly the sun unloading. But fortunately for me, because of the generational thinking, I have already acquired land as a business through our current locations. So at a point, we said, let's go and build a factory because we cannot be loading inside the sun. It's raining. We have to cover it quickly with the tarpaulin. So that's where I went to Germany to also go and buy semi-skahand automatic machine lines. So around now, when we came to our new facility, we are no more doing manual washing again. And then we are transited from the manual washing to semi-skahand washing. So I went to Germany to buy the used machinery from Germany. We did that for almost about five years or more. And then when the Nigerians came in, the Nigerians heard of the product, aluminum motors especially. And then they started coming in. So I made a line. Now that the money was coming, actually. So I wasn't using the money also because I was already facing the business through a boy underline from Nigeria. And it could not even survive them. They come and say, Oh God, oh God, I've been here for two weeks, they don't load me. They don't load me, you know. So actually, God prompted me to go and buy a brand new line from Kroen's. Brand new fast line from Kroen's. And the plan one line I was doing about 35,000 motorist per hour. And even the crew ask me, I went to use this line for water or for a sake or hall. But the general is who is booming in Nigeria. గ్న్స్లెగిగ్ల్వచిన్యాపూక్చ్నర్ గాపుసహ్ల్ల్ంస్త్స్త్మ్. ప్ల్లేందోటిషావికు. పివిహ్లదోనిందిక్. ప్వనేలులోనరాపేనే. సినీతీలలనాదితోనానీ గాన్కింరెటల్జ ఈకికిమాడివ౿యి నievous�త్నాయ న఻త్నారె.. ంలిఫతకయిదంㅊాసూటియటియించ్ౕగ సక� Pass సినికొటిమంంంటిశినాదింతిటాతి సిని మినినినిత౿లునిండినానిalbumవండ్యందావండ్కెనూటృెటూటిటునీనియండినిలిలునింటికైసితికితిసియ I will not go and have a deal with any Cosmos Officer at the ports or at my residence for the person to come and then I will have them.

What are the things that you've done, apart from everybody know you to be Kasapereku? What are the things that you've done in the country that nobody know that you are the one behind it? Well, initially, let's say I heard that there's somebody delivered at a hospital and it has detained because he cannot pay the fee to be discharged. I just told my officer, 2000 Ghana cities, let's go and pay. You know, you go and pay and then after the charge, the guy will tell me that the people want to come and thank me. I say, you know, I don't need to be thanked, I don't need to be thanked, you know. So that's sort of, if you have small money and you give some hours, that will not let you, that will collapse you or collapse your company. Exactly. Why don't you do it? That's why this place, this place, at the point, I was thinking of everybody in this, everybody who goes to the school. Everybody from this town had a special for me, everybody. Because I thought I could afford it. So why don't I give it to somebody who can afford it? But later on, even if I asked them because I wasn't getting the result that I wanted. But you can ask from this, what the hell are we doing? Three SHS. It started from me here, not Mr. Waal, but this village. Everybody was benefitting from me, you know. So that's how come I was supposed to do the school. If I have money, I'll put it at the bank. You know, I call the dump money. You know, let your money talk. At least adopt one boy, adopt one girl. Right, yes. I have been able to look about some boys and girls that they are not part of my family. When they finished, I looked for a job for them. You know, I did somewhere at Tech, somewhere at Lagoon, that you are not part of me at all. Once you are from this town, some of them even were living with me, you know, trying to help somebody. So that's me. I feel like for you charity is everything. Yeah, if I have the money, if I have the money, why not? So sometimes I don't let people know what I'm going in. There was a road in Accra under that bridge. It is Lagoon, coming to the apprentice. There was a time that I saw that the road was very bad, not now, the olden days. And then the shoulder, because we were going to Accra, this traffic was always there. Because I also used to pass it before I come to work. There was this traffic. Those who were going to Accra, should have worked on the shoulder to go to Accra. Of course, they are putting coconut husks, right? And when it's rotted, right, it becomes muddy. Nobody will go there. So at a point I called my contractor, called Swank Contract, because it was limited. Swank. Let's go and buy lath right. Go and clear the coconut husks. Put lath right there, ramp it, and let the car flow. He did it, and I didn't report it to any press man. When he was doing it, I didn't inform anybody. And this mask one, it's still there. You can tell to that. So not everything that you do for publicity. That's why for me, I'm not a media person. I don't like the media, but sometimes you cannot hide. Because you accepted me to interview you. I want to use my channel. We're going to raise money to build you the next quarters. It's a deal. It's a deal. It's a deal. It's a deal. You're my son. Oh, I'm not a son. You're my son. I will do that because I have been here and I've seen that you've done a lot. And you can't do everything by yourself. So I want to tell you that I'm going to make that happen. I think in here the land is free. So I'm not going to buy land. No, the land is free. You just need to start a structure. All ready. You have the land there. So how many rooms do we need? Please let's talk the doctor. The person you went. Let's see, but at least there are about 30 personnel here. We're going to make that happen. We're definitely going to make that happen. I'll come back again. I'm very, very glad that we're doing this. No, we'll do it. Yes, sure. I promise you. I'm not the son that speaks and acts and doesn't follow. A lot of friends have helped me. When I said I wanted a chair for the clinic, somebody bought a chair. 13,000 can I say this. Wow. A friend of mine, Lebanese, sold a gun for the theater. You know. And I'm going to put a picture there. Friends are going to put a picture for the clinic. They are going to put a picture there. So you have to be the biggest one. I just want to know. This is a question coming from someone. He said, you are into beverages. You transition into real estate. And now you're into farming. Why real estate? You know, it's a movable properties. For me, growing up and in my business studies, it's something called diversification. So most people, most rich people, both overseas and here, they have a bit of real estate to their businesses. So if one is down, one can be up. So as a business person, you call diversification. So you don't do only one line of business. So we have the curtains. We are into real estate. We are into beverage. And we are into farming. You know, at least four sectors that we are there. I know that when it comes to beverages, you have Kasaprakon, which has presence in Akra, Kumasi too. But when it comes to the real estate, how many units have you built so far? We did a first one called Kasaglobal Estates. You know, about only about 30 units or less. And then we are doing our first commercial real estate. You know, commercial. There are two that I did was office buildings. By residential, it's about signature. Signature. That is my name because it's a signature. So it's a different design altogether. It's about 230 apartments. Why the name signature? It's my signature. Because I give that name. It's my signature. I think this question will be maybe my last question. I know you are an industrialist. But right now, all your company has been transferred to your children. This is something that a lot of industrialists fail to do. I mean, how did you transition the whole company from yourself to your children? Because I can see when I came here, when you wake up in the morning, all you do is to just jog, walk around and that's it. How did you do that? You know, it's about management. The coach. Have you seen a coach playing soccer? No. You sit on the touch line. If I show him my phone, right, they report to me. Or I can show you. I don't know whether you have time. I'll show you one here. So whatever is happening at Casaparico, they report, production, downtime. And if I have to talk, I talk. So it's about the management. So you cannot take your eye off the ball. So I'm at the coach. The second generation knows that I'm watching them. And then if I have to go there, I'll go there. But for now, because they're doing a very good job, I don't have to go there. But they know I'm watching them. So they report to me whatever they are doing. Business is an ongoing scenario. Very soon, I'll take myself off. But right now, I'm nurturing them. So I'm nurturing them. So I think that most Ghanians, I don't intend to insult anybody. Don't do it that they don't plan to transition. If you have a business, and your son is in America or in Britain or in Germany, and you don't bring the person close to your business, and you die, and your son comes in. You say he's a stranger in your field. You don't do that. You don't train the second generation. Just like sending the firm to go and wait for you by day. Even a brand catalyst. You cannot wait to sharpen him. What we did, at the point in time, I had to bring in a family business consultant from America. You went to the hotel about a week or so. My wife was there. All my children were there. She showed us what to do and what not to do. I also studied family business at Harvard Business School. I sent my children to Switzerland. All of them also went to family business courses. You know that if you are my sibling, and the business closes to the house, you don't bring that one to the house. It's purely business. So that the family will integrate. So there's business here, there's family here. The family is very important. Business is also very, very important. So in our case, what we did was that, according to my studies, you sent your next generation, train them, nurture them, and send them out. Most of the people take five years. You leave the family business, go and wait for somebody for five years before you come back. To get toughened up. Because parents have soft spots for their kids. So the professionals are saying that, let them go out to be drilled, then come back. So you train them outside, and bring them back. So that's what we do. And make sure that the person that's about time, make sure that the person we are giving your assets to, for your sweat to, is capable. Don't do it emotionally. Because it's about a failed bond. Failed bond, right in the business, and let your assistant support you. You step down for me, because of sibling rivalry. Right? You all sat down, and said, okay, now I want to step back. I want to step back. The type of you, vote. I said one person, to take it back because I'm pregnant. I don't want to select. I know whom to choose. I know. For us, we are all good. We are all good. But the person who did finance, who did finance, as his masters, right? If you lead the company, that will be the best person for us. Who is that person? Theorist, Richard. So I didn't choose Richard. Richard is a family, siblings. That's why they sell very close. But if I say Richard, we are the third born. Go and lead, go ahead with the company too. It's about psychology. You don't have to discriminate. So which means every child of yours have their own company that they run? For now, for now. But you know what you do? We do family meetings almost every two months. We gather. The conversable. Family meetings. So you bring your issue, I bring my issue, I will discuss it. Every two months, three months, again, we do family meetings in my house. I heard it. They are all on the conversable. Listen to me. I address them and then, okay, what's your problem? What's your issue? What's your issue? That's what we do. We don't do that, right? We cannot work together. So I say that you have to leave a very profitable company to the next generation. So you, the second generation also have to leave a very viable company, the third generation. So we train them. Right now, we are watching them. We are watching the grand children. For now, I can say that they are all intelligent. For now, they are all intelligent. But because, I can say that it was about 12 years, right? But soon they will join the family meetings. Wow. While you reach 15 years, you admit to the family meetings. So the one we are discussing, you can also contribute. And then they will start going to work at 15 years. Not to go and work, right? But to go and experience it. That's how you build it organically, naturally. That's what it is. You're building a generational on the heart of the person, right? No, they have to send the person to school and say, come, let's understand what we are doing. That's what we are doing. So you may think he's a bad person, but you are not training him. You are not coaching him, you are not mentoring him, you know, to take over from you. But it takes time. And then when they come to, when the children also come to the business, you don't say you are going to be the MD. No, no, no, no, no. This is Richard Guy, who is the MD at Kasperko. He told Dr. Kranje who made him the MD. I wasn't going to be the MD because he worked under Dr. Kranje the ADM I was. And he said, if you go and play at an other person, that MD, he will resign. I worked with Richard. I know what he can do. He was a young man because he sat also on the floor, right? Yeah. He worked with somebody to become a president manager, become blah, blah, blah. So let's put him there as the MD. At that time, I have already engaged an MD. Signed a contract with him. You know, and then with the MD, Dr. Kranje said, no, I won't agree. Because you are the board chairman. So no, I won't agree. You know, so the person said, you know, I won't mention the name. Okay. If you say, we are drawing my appointment. I want to come out for you for three, for two years. I said MD of Casapereco. But I said no. Even for ten years for three, you want to use you because he's a public, he's a business consultant. You know, as a springboard to expand his horizon. I went to, MD for Casapereco. So don't do that. Let's use Rechar. He can do it. And then, Rechar became MD. Yes. He came in as a program, but he was going. He was going. You know, it's by virtue of promotion. That's why. Finally, he got there. What will be your message to young entrepreneurs? For me, the same thing, as I've been saying, the sales, the sales for success. Right? And I said, entrepreneur, like championship. You know, if entrepreneur, nobody will sack you. Nobody can sack you. You know, because you don't go to work. Nobody can say, why didn't you go to work? So like a champion, you will fall, don't stay on the ground, rise. And also, try to live a legacy. Try. It's very, very important. One, I'll say, entrepreneur, you always speak one language. You have to, you have to build profit. Don't consume other profit. Re-invest some of the profit in your business, right? And then, challenge yourself. Discipline yourself. One, you are self-disciplined, the others will follow you. Because if you come to, with all due respect, if you come to business and you are befriending, you are befriending the girls, as you are flirting the girls in your company, with all due respect for you, your company will collide our means. Just like throwing the ball on the wall, to come back to you. So it's self-discipline. It's very, very important. So for me, when I was there, if I say 8 o'clock, by 8 o'clock I'm there. But who will besides you come to work at 8.15? You come and meet me there. This morning, when we were working, I don't know, I asked one girl, are you guys working up? He said no. We can't wake up here at 6.15, no. I brought it up and we are a helper. So as you know, that I wake up at 6 o'clock. When I see you sleeping, I will question you. You will not wake up at 6.15. So self-discipline first, before others will also follow you. So like respect, it's end. Respect is end. You have to respect yourself. Do you believe Africa is the future? That is what the world is saying. So that's what Africa is the future. And they are coming in. They are coming. They are coming. So now the question is that, if Africa is the future, which I believe so, and the foreigners are coming in to grab it, what about you? Who are the end users? Do you wait for the foreigners to come and take it and give us a peanut? So years back, during the slavery, they were saying that the black are the hackers of wood and drawers of water. You will chop the wood for them and go and draw water for them. So right now, we got our independence. But are we mentally independence? That's the question you have to ask yourself. But may I believe that it can be done. Because what one man has done, another man can do. Thank you very much.
