A lot Of People Retire With A Big House, But Can’t Buy Food – Paul Kofi Mante, Managing Director Of EDC

The Managing Director of Ecobank Development Corporation Investments Ltd (EDC), Paul Kofi Mante, during Old Mutual’s ɔbra Pa Retirement Salary stakeholder engagement program held in Accra has ascertained that many people retire without plans to maintain cash flow in their lives.

In expressing his worry, Mr. Mante said, “A lot of people retire and are rich in asset, but poor in cash flow. This means they may have a big house, but they can’t buy food. They may have a big house, but have a medical bill of 5000gh that they cannot pay.

Mr. Paul Kofi Mante spoke as a panelist on Old Mutual’s ɔbra Pa Retirement Salary stakeholder engagement which was themed ‘’ Retiring with confidence; how to live a fulfilled life with a retirement salary’’.
