The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has praised the leadership of former Managing Director of the Ghana Publishing Company (GPC), David Asante, for steering the company toward a strong financial recovery in 2023.
Appearing before the Committee on Friday, November 9, the current Managing Director, Nana Kwasi Boatey, presented the financial report covering the period during which Mr. Asante was in charge.
During the session, Akwasi Konadu, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia North and a member of the Committee, commended the notable progress made under Mr. Asante’s leadership.
He pointed out that printing operations had grown by nearly 50 percent, gazetting services increased by 44 percent, publications and forms rose by 34 percent, and net assets saw an extraordinary jump of about 3,000 percent.
“These are very significant figures, showing a massive turnaround under the leadership of Mr. David Asante,” Mr. Konadu remarked, while asking the new Managing Director how the current management plans to sustain this growth trajectory.
The Committee showed great interest in the factors contributing to the company’s sharp turnaround and the strategies being implemented to maintain and build upon the progress achieved.
Members of the PAC lauded the Ghana Publishing Company for its outstanding performance and encouraged the new leadership to continue strengthening the systems and practices that led to this improvement.
They also advised the management team to uphold financial discipline, improve efficiency, and embrace innovation to ensure continued growth and public trust in the company’s operations.
