Gabby Asare Shows Off Kantanka 'Baby'
Yes, I own a Kantanka Mensah. It drives just like any other car in its range. I love it! My only issue with the manufacturers is that they should be looking more at building mass produced vehicles which many Ghanaians can afford. Like, the small cars now used for Uber in Accra. Kantanka can be the model for taxis in Ghana if only the manufacturer can target the $8-12,000 market. Keep it basic! A/C, radio, no frills.

Gabby is good you have a Kantaka for yourself. Please tell your uncles (President and Finance)to reduce the tax burden on Kantaka imports and will automatically reflect on the manufacturing price. Also the 35% tax band is seriously affecting almost all OFFSHORE workers. Take guard.
The issue with the cost of their cars has been explained by them, and it has to do with taxes on parts that they have to import in manufacturing their cars. The so-called frills are now basic things that you need in any modern basic car which they cannot manufacture without. Secondly, in other jurisdictions, the gov't supports such local industries. In the US for example, the vehicles used by the gov't is produced by GM and Ford. The President's Limo the Beast is a Cadillac a GM product. In Germany, which has signed a MoU to assemble VW cars in Ghana, The Chancellor uses a Mercedes or is it Audi or BMW. They use the products by their local industries. Kantanka Automobile I don't believe cannot mass-produce their cars. We just heard Gov't provide over 100 cars Toyota Corolla's was it for the Police? Why did Gov't not contract Kantanka so the total number of those cars supplied, would be in a ratio of 70:30, the 70; skewed towards Kantanka Mensah's and the 30 to the Corolla's? And also look at reducing or removing the import duties or taxes on the parts they import, or even look at import substitution, by supporting a local industry to produce those parts, by giving tax breaks for precision and high tech machinery and equipment so we create more jobs across the whole value chain up to the cars, driving on the streets ie manufacturing, parts, dealerships, servicing, car loans/banks? Maybe this was a joke, but if Gabby was serious about what he said, then I think NPP should be packing out of office in 2020.
I agree with Gabby when he says the manufacturers must seriously consider building more mass produced and affordable cars like the small cars used for Uber in Accra. I've long held the view that such a move will propell the Kantanka group into greatness and revolutionarise the automobile and transport businesses in Ghana.
@mile Permit me to point out to you that Gabby's trousers are not red. You may check your eye sight. The colour of the pants is a shade of pink which definitely matches the colour of his shirt.
Unless you know fashion and ,wani abue, and you have travelled abroad you will never know red matches with pink
Leadership by example. Good one there Gabby
