An Opportunity For Ghana To Help Coca-Cola Of America Prevent Damage To Its Iconic Brand's Global Reputation?

Dear Captain Nkrabea Effah-Darteh,

Re: An Opportunity For Ghana To Help Coca-Cola Of America Prevent Damage To Its Iconic Brand's Global Reputation?

I shall go straight to the point: This could be a case that eventually  attracts  global media scrutiny.  For, if all fails, I shall get the global activist group, Avaaz.Org,  to take this matter up.

You must therefore take it seriously and fight a good fight - so that you and your client will prevail in the end.

It is also a  rare opportunity for you and the law courts in Ghana  to help a victim,  made ill  and ruined financially,  as a direct result of the  effects of the bad corporate governance practices at Coca-Cola Ghana Limited.

Sir, Coca-Cola of America would thank you profusely,  if,  as a result of your efforts,  the damaging allegations made in sections of the Ghanaian media,  by some workers of Coca-Cola Ghana Limited -  during their last confrontation with the company's management,  over pay and bonuses -  was indeed confirmed to them by the court's decision in the matter now before it.

It is vital that an end is brought  to the totally  unacceptable situation,   in which the  local subsidiary of an iconic American corporate brand, is apparently producing soft drinks that are sometimes unwholesome,  and are said to end up making some of  those who ingest them seriously ill.

That  shambles  is the direct result of a company culture in which some of the  management practices   at Coca-Cola Ghana Limited are clearly  mafia-like and Byzantine in nature -    to the extent that raw materials near their sell-by date are alleged to be purchased and  routinely used in the  production of the company's soft drinks,  sold nationwide in Ghana.

You and the court must help the Coca-Cola Company of America to purge its Ghanaian subsidiary of the local mafia into whose corrupt hands  an iconic American brand with a global footprint has now apparently fallen.

And, above all,  the court must finally enable an innocent Ghanaian lady -  who purchased and drank their product only to fall so gravely ill that she is lucky to have survived -  to  get justice from  those at Coca-Cola Ghana Limited, whose criminally negligent  conduct made her ill and nearly caused her death.

That unfortunate Ghanaian lady  must now have some closure,  to a nightmare and ordeal she did not have to go through,  if some elements in the  management  of Coca-Cola Ghana Limited had not  so blatantly ignored the corporate good governance principles that guide its world-famous parent company, headquartered  in the United States of America.

And it is to the United States of America that   you may have to take your legal fight next, Sir -  in the unlikely event that the law courts in Ghana too,    succumb to the pervasive power and baleful influence,   of the local mafia, into the hands of which Coca-Cola Ghana Limited has apparently fallen.
