The MP emphasised that, “I do business, I will still do business.”
Mr Okyere Baafi, who previously served as Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry and Executive Secretary of the Ghana Free Zones Board, noted that his political journey has been fulfilling but insists his passion for business remains strong.
