The Micro Credit Association (MCAG) has embarked on a week-long sensitization drive in the Northern, Upper West, and Upper East Regions of Ghana.

The sensitization program in the Northern parts of Ghana forms part of sequence of activities to mark the 10th anniversary of the Association and also educate and give everyone an opportunity to understand the micro credit business.

The week-long program commenced in Tamale in the Northern Region and continued to Wa in the Upper West Region and Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region simultaneously.

In the Northern Regional capital, Tamale, Mr. Ebenezer Quartey, explained that, micro credit businesses that are registered with the Association are not only legitimate operators, but also get trained and supervised.

He also encouraged all micro credit operators to register their businesses because lending money without the required license is illegal.


Mr. Ebenezer Quartey speaking at a Seminar in Tamale

“The regulation states that, when one gives out loans without the requisite license, one is engaged in an illegal business” he stated emphatically.

At a seminar in Wa, the Executive Secretary noted that, with over 70% of Ghanaians in the informal sector, the growth of micro credit business will improve the lives of individuals, small and medium scale enterprises in the micro economic sector of the country as whole.

He explained further that, huge capital is not required to start a micro credit business, however, a license is necessary.

Mr. Quartey mentioned that, acquiring the license and joining the Association is beneficial to the individual as its members get educated on risk management and always have the support of the Association.

The Executive Secretary admonished that, to make debtors responsible, micro credit operators must devise innovative ways of recuperating their loans.

The Northern Sector Coordinator for MCAG, Mr. Sampson Makafui in a radio interview at Bolgatanga explained that, some individuals in the money crediting business were of the view that, they owned the money so there was no need for them to be controlled. “According to our research, we know that there are a lot of people in the Northern Region involved in this business but have not been registered. Some of them think it’s their own money so there is no need for them to be regulated. It is for this reason that we are holding this educational workshop” he stated.

Mr. Makafui added that, the Association was not undertaking the activity to apprehend anyone but to advise them on the benefits of joining the Association and formalizing their micro crediting business.

He said “we here to educate them and open our doors to formalize their businesses but not to apprehend or arrest anyone”.

The Northern Sector Coordinator for MCAG cautioned citizens to undertake thorough background checks on any financial institution before doing business with them.

He added that, members of the Association do not take deposit from the public but only give out loans to people.

Mr. Douglas Owusu Banahene, Monitoring and Evaluation Officer of MCAG and Mr. Joseph Lanbon, Upper West Regional Representative of MCAG, also educated participants on the Association’s procedures during seminars in Tamale and Wa respectively.

  79. Greetings! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which
    blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had
    problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  80. Llegamos lo antes posible a su hogar en Lleida y dejamos su Lavadoras como nuevo, al mejor precio, con la mayor calidad técnica de la ciudad. No todas las averías de Lavadoras Fagor exigen la asistencia de un reparador a su hogar, es posible que simplemente en la misma llamada le podamos indicar dónde está la solución y así no tendría que gastar dinero alguno.

  81. Y he puesto la queja pero son unos sin vergüenzas porque he llamado al servicio técnico y me dice que es el horario que hay, y les he comentado que podrían en ocasiones especiales poder visitar a la gente para ver la avería fuera de horario, así almenos podríamos quedarnos contentos. Me ofertan desde fabrica comprar otro frigorífico con un descuento del 30, que resulta ser el precio + – de los que se ofertan por internet, estoy desesperada y sin frigorífico, me siento impotente, y yo que compre todo Fagor, pagando precios + altos, por ser una marca española, ¡que decepción! Nunca había comprado electrodomésticos fagor, pero la próxima vez elegiré otra marca.

  90. Whether it is a friend’s new profile picture, or a picture too ridiculous, too funny, or too adorable to leave without acknowledgement, here’s your guide on figuring out how to leave your mark.
    This almost always solicits a response along the lines of “so cute! I <3 you!” or “that was such a fun night!” — essentially anything that makes it clear that you and your BFFL had ridiculous amounts of fun that night, and everyone else should be “mad jeals.”

  91. Typically this requires an “aw you two look great” or “so cute! Hope it was a fun night, we will definitely have to meet up sometime!” Also translated into either “I probably still had more fun than you” or “why wasn’t I invited?”
    From the simple “photo creds” to the slightly more daring “wow, great picture. The photographer must be so talented and good looking,” this comment almost always demands acknowledgement. Often a banner ad for “Whatever, you probably didn’t pick a picture with me because I made you look bad.”

  92. This picture is the perfect venue to demonstrate to the entire facebook community how clever and witty you are. Whether you’re referencing another golden moment, or commenting on how it’s the best they ever looked, this picture is a commenter’s moment to shine.
    Once you get past the initial insult (how could they!?) it’s time to seek revenge with a caustic comments like “well you cut out the only good part of this picture,” or worse “Good choice, I looked better than you anyway.” Rough.

  93. “You look great!” “Wow, you’re beautiful.” “Gorgeous, as always.” There are no other comments. I don’t care if they look like they haven’t slept in a week and there’s an entire plate of spinach stuck in their teeth – don’t risk it.
    This is the comment you post on a picture that everyone else commented on at least six months ago. Typically, this comment is just blatant proof that you’ve been doing some facebook stalking.

  101. Please let me know if you’re looking for a writer for your site.
    You have some really great posts and I think I
    would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d love to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.
    Please blast me an email if interested. Cheers!
