Why did the Ghana government bought vehicles from Germany in October 2023? Why not Katanka cars?

Just buy from chinese, mor cheap and you can name your brand on it. Like those katanka car that rebrand chinese car

Bro you don't understand right. The cars are made in China and therefore it attract duties

almost everything is manufacture in china, probably it is only assmbly in ghana. This ''apostol'' is just a lier and a bad joke

Nana is a Western puppet who rides around proudly in foreign cars. If he were a truly smart leader he would have purchased a fleet of Kantaka automobiles for government use like the American government exclusively uses Chevrolet automobiles.

@@ghanaianfoundingfathersdau80 Except that Ghana doesnt make cars. They buy from chinese and assemble in Ghana.

me too

Ameen

Me too , they've come a long way

Lol these are toyotas

@@philipparana9225 they are electric cars so no they are not Toyota

@@TheTrill334 oh sorry did not know electric cars had tailpipes hahaha

@@philipparana9225 some are electric. Are you really this petty ? Who cares what is what . You are just a hater that hates to see a african car company. There are other african car manufacturers too . Innoson is in nigeria . Haters

Oh good your phatetic , those are chinese car.

@@Gamja_Channel what is phatetic?

Bible Reader Why? They are twice the cost of the same vehicle fully assembled in China. Kantanka should have used their tax and duty avoidance to sell these Chinese manufactured CKDs that they assemble for a small profit and large turnover. Rather than trying to double their money on every vehicle whilst pretending they are designed and engineered in Ghana and charging a premium price for them. bigmtauto.en.alibaba.com/custom_page_1/Globalized_Operation.html

😁😁😁

random thoughts you should better stop fooling okay !!

PHRIMPON PHIMS I will stop when Kantanka stops lying to the people of Ghana. Avoiding Duty Avoiding Tax. Buying CKD kits from China and assembling them in Ghana but pretending that they are Ghana designed and Built. By allowing these lies to go unchecked is an insult to Ghana. Ghana and Ghanaians deserve better than to be lied to.

Evans Lol I put up the link to pictures showing Kantanka vehicles being shipped. What more do you want. Does this look familiar? paultan.org/2016/02/29/new-malaysian-brand-saf-to-launch-april-striker-pick-up-and-landfort-suv-to-be-based-on-foday-models/ A Malaysian Company is launching a Brand based on Foday models. Or call it the Onantefo 4x4 if you like. Either way you can buy it as a Kantanka in Ghana. A Foday in China. Or a SAF in Malaysia. Even the Alloy Wheels are the same....... 😂😂😂😂😂

hahaha they are made in China that is why it is expensive

He doesn't engineer nothing. You must understand assembly plants, engineering car and playing games. These cars are already on Chinese roads

Great point

Are you mad?

Thanks china

perhaps duty could be applied to foreign cars only. Those made locally should be exempt from taxes to stimulate the local car manufacturing industry.

rastaman jb Not every country on the surface of this earth manufacture cars. There is something called manufacturing tax so even if the car is not imported the manufacturer will pay tax on it. Countries that manufacture cars usually have an entire supply chain and they don't have to import anything, every thing is paid for using the local currency.

Dont be negative, this is a source of great pride to us Ghanians, it's the first car made from scratch and mostly by hand in Africa, it put Ghana on the map. Kantanka CEO explained the price isn't their fault, it's the government, in other countries there's zero or max 5% import duty on SKDs but in Ghana the tariffs are exorbitant, the government isn't empathetic with domestic car manufacturers like Katanka.

@@toobalkain They did not build it from scratch. It is Chinese engineering.

@@adamhavercamp Are you sure? Are you saying Africans can't make a car like this from scratch? You some kind of racist?

@@toobalkain Africans are not very good at making anything. However they are good at sports, rap music and running.

@@sadikmeah4057 exactly, they're athletic and musical, this guy should be running dancing schools for them, not make DIY Chinese kit cars. The whole thing is clearly a scam, they're trying to make it look as if they're actually manufacturing automobiles in Africa to get government money. If anything, they should try and make electric cars, Tesla and multiple Chinese automakers have shown it's possible to outperform legacy manufacturers, if they could do it, why couldn't Nigerians?

Kingsley Appiah Michael I second that

Those are chinese car.

I'm sure he's very disappointed to hear that and it will make a big difference to his life. Lol

Because the cars are made in China and not Ghana. They should stop lying to us

Oh are you sure after all that they have shown us?

You can buy those car from chinese , and make your brand. Just search ali baba online shop or ali express online shop.

I think those are imported from chinese.

The company has made it clear in various interviews that its comprised of two parts under the Automobile umbrella. He has a 75% made in Ghana section that is not yet commercial, but has produces many cars over the period including hybrid brands. The second part is an assembly plant that is currently commercial, results of which can be seen in the showrooms and on our streets. It’s about time we looked into supporting our own, not all made in Ghana is below par.

@@Gamja_Channel you know exactly where you were when you made that comment. Your lack of sense is immeasurable and unbelievable

The apostle made his first engine in the 90s. In the 2000s there was a whole program dedicated to showing how they made their engines. It's no secret. Maybe your dad just bought the first TV set of his

The engines are manufactured right here in Ghana. Take time off and visit Gomoa Mpota. Did you never watch Metro TV on Sunday morning? For over 3 years they aired how engines de engines were built

When the cars are made in China of course. Ask yourself why it is expensive

Kofi Boat you aren't making any sense

Somebody should explain that to me, why duty pls?

Asamoah Kofi that's very true, we must promote our languages too. I agree with you

why don’t you write in our own language!! obi fom kum aa menfon ndwa...

Asamoah Kofi 😂😂😂😂😂 Everybody should speak their own language and you will see where that will lead them to. Business is business the more audience you appeal to the better. Cause business depend on people it better to speak a language that a lot of people understand than a language that a hand full of people can comprehend.

Not ORDINALLY, is ORDINARY , Please

What you have, you don't want to see people have success. What make you feel like that?

Foolish

Nana Kumiwaah Kantanka don't pay full duty on these vehicles as they are imported in CKD form from the manufacturer in China. The Manufacturer does the same deal with Companies in other Countries. Part of the requirements of any partner is that they must be able to import the CKDs with reduced or no import duty and taxes. It is a good Business Model, both for the Chinese Manufacturer and Kantanka. But Kantanka choses to charge premium prices when he could charge less and corner the market. bigmtauto.en.alibaba.com/custom_page_1/Globalized_Operation.html

Nana Kumiwaah When you important products from abroad The gov of Ghana will charge you import duties.

Azeez Bawumia The Tax and Duties are hugely reduced if you import certs8n goods as stipulated bybthe Government of Ghana. Car parts is one of them. Including those Kantanka imports and assembles. They could easily have priced these vehiclee much cheaper than other nee vehicles such as Nissan or Toyota. But they went another way and charge a premium by pretending they are fully engineered and built in Ghana. They are exploiting Ghanaians nationalistic pride in the great nation of Ghana.

random thoughts No I don't think anyone believe the car was engineered in Ghana 😂😂😂 Lol who are the engineers behind the project? In which facilities did they conduct their research? How come and there is no new tech in the car? Plenty questions left unattended to. The only way to start tech company is to present something new on the market so if your product is similar to what is already on the market then the price have to reduce drastically to attract buyers. The industries and the human resources required for manufacturing a car is currently not available in Ghana. The market size is even small and can't sustain a company. They should think of exporting to other countries to make more sales.

Azeez Bawumia Look at the campaign online that Kantanka has waged to convince people they are 100% Ghanaian vehicles. There are loads of videos online and interviews with fawning foreign journalists. Its great that Kantanka is generating jobs in Ghana. But why have they been suggesting that thw Ghanaian Government have not helped fund them. After all Kantanka's own Business Plan is partly based on denying the Ghanaian Economy of Duties and Taxes. They can't export the vehicles outside Ghana. They have a deal to assemble them for the Ghana Market. The Company they buy the vehicles from has similar contracts with other Companies to do what Kantanka does. I would expect there to be some form of clause in the contract that means they can't assemble the vehicles for export. After all the Chinese build these same vehicles in China for not just export the CKDs for assembly elsewhere. Even the Kantanka assembly line was engineered by the Chinese. I have said it before. Kantanka should have priced the vehicles realistically not at the same price as Japanese or Korean Imports. In fact the pick up version is more expensive than the Nissan Hardbody and not far off the price of a Toyota Hi Lux. They would sell all they could assemble if they had simply.priced them properly. A Chinese vehicle based on obsolete technology is not worth the same as a vehicle from Europe/America/Japan or Korea. In the same was a Mahindra or Tata has to be cheaper to compete with superior vehicles. You either compete on quality or price. Kantanka does neither sadly. Such a wasted opportunity for Ghana.

I don't blame you.i know you don't believe in a black man buh pls belive this for once.go to winneba and ask of Kantanka suaye,you will know for yourself.it's about time we flee from slavery.lets have hope in our leaders like Kantanka

@@queencesss3345 Ghana always was the biggest slave trader in africa, and leaders like kantana sold your own people to the arabs as slaves and now you sell them to the chinese as cheap unskilled labour. And you idiots call this criminal a prophet. You are running into slavery praising the man who sells you. And you deserve not better because you are too fucking stupid.

Agree , those 100% chinese car ..

Idiot, your brains have imbibed so much hatred and mediocrity. You simply don't read enough, and I can tell you just an ignoramus displaying yiur cynics inherited from your parents who failed to send you to school.

Go to GBC and visit section for archived videos. Kantanga was producing Corn Mill engines in the 80s and 90s which were showcased at tradefair exhibitions. He built upon that and started making automobile engines later on. There are 100 videos of how the engine making began. Sorry ass hater
