The State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) has successfully convened its Annual Stakeholder Engagement, bringing together key actors across government, industry, and public enterprises to review performance and strengthen governance frameworks.
Held on April 10, 2026, at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra, the engagement provided a platform for policymakers, board members, chief executives, and sector representatives to assess the performance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and to align strategies to improve efficiency and accountability.
The event focused on improving transparency, strengthening operations, and ensuring public enterprises deliver measurable value to citizens. Discussions also emphasized reforms aimed at transforming SOEs into sustainable and high-performing entities.
Speaking at the event, Director-General Michael Kpessa-Whyte highlighted the importance of accountability: “Good governance is the backbone of strong institutions. At SIGA, we are committed to ensuring that state-owned enterprises operate efficiently, transparently, and deliver value to Ghanaians.”
He added: “This engagement is about results, strengthening oversight, improving performance, and driving national development.”
In her keynote address, Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang emphasized the need for transformation: “State-owned enterprises must evolve into drivers of economic growth and shared prosperity.”
She further noted: “With the right leadership and accountability, our public enterprises can become key pillars of Ghana’s economic transformation.”
The engagement concluded with a renewed commitment from stakeholders to strengthen governance, enhance operational efficiency, and deliver sustainable value through Ghana’s public enterprises.
