The iconic Kumasi Shoe Factory is struggling to stay afloat as state agencies continue to rely heavily on imported footwear, the Board Chair has revealed. The shocking disclosure has set social media and business circles abuzz, raising questions about the future of local manufacturing.
“We are bleeding because government agencies are choosing imports over supporting local industry,” the Chair lamented, highlighting a growing crisis in one of Ghana’s most historic shoe manufacturers.
Economists warn that continued reliance on foreign products could cripple domestic industries, leading to job losses and a decline in Ghana’s self-sufficiency.
As the debate heats up, many are calling for urgent government intervention to save a national icon from collapse and revive pride in locally made products.
