Welcome

 

Welcome to my Website. My name is Ing. Dr. Kenneth Ashigbey, PMP, FGIM, Cert IoD, MIoD,FCE, APR. Chief Executive of Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, the Chief Servant, at Telecom Chamber I am simply referred to as Ken.

I joined the Telecom Chamber after completing my national service as Chief Servant at Graphic Communications Group Limited, Ghana’s leading and most influential media organization. Before then I was the Chief Operating Officer of the Multimedia Group Ltd (Multi TV) between 2010 and 2011. Earlier, between 2003 and 2006, I had worked with this same Group but as its Chief Technology Officer and the General Manager of Joy FM. In between the periods I worked for the Multimedia Group, I became the Managing Director of the Optimum Media Prime (OMP), a communications, independent media and event management company.

I have also worked as the Senior Projects Engineer at Fanel Ltd and worked on the design and installation of Electrical Building Services for three of the Multi-story office complex buildings in the capital among other projects.

I completed an MA in IT Law from the University of Ghana School of Law, I hold a Doctorate degree in Business Administration from the Swiss Management Centre. I hold a Master of Business Administration from Leicester University (UK) and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical/Electronic Engineering from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Ken is a Project Management professional, a holder of Certificate in Company Direction from IoD UK. He is a Senior Member of the Ghana Institution of Engineers, a Fellow of the Ghana Institute of Management, the Institute of Chartered Economist Ghana, Board Room Institute and the African Project and Programme Management Association. I am also a member of the Ghana Journalists Association and Institute of Public Relations Ghana.

5.-With-the-team-1024x567 Welcome
With 4 members of the L-R Derek, David, Reynolds & Alaina (Agnes, Samuel & Francis not in shot)

I am currently a member of the Board of Trustee of the Ghana Blood Foundation. I just resigned my post as a Non Executive member of the Board of Vodafone Ghana Foundation. I am the Coordinator of my year group of St. Augustine’s College Cape Coast. Ken is the 1st Vice President of Ghana Institute of Management and Ghana Table Tennis Association and also the convener of the Media Coalition Against Galamsey

He is a strong believer in Ghana & holds the strong views that:

  • The development of Ghana is strongly linked to Ghanaians owning the heights of the industry within the country and moving out to conquer the world.
  • Ghanaians ought to know where we are from, be proud about that, and then to be able to chart the path to where we ought to be.
  • We cannot develop as any other people but as Ghanaians.
  • As Ghanaians, we need to support each other to fail forward and learn very quickly doing that.
  • Only Ghanaians can lead the development of Ghana, nobody will do it for us.
  • The time to complain is long gone, what change can I make, is the question to ask.

2.-In-Smoke-with-the-Logo-1024x683 WelcomeHe is passionate about agri-business and believes that Ghana and Africa can be transformed through technology driven integrated agribusiness from production to total value addition and marketing.

His vision is to transform Abutia Kpota a village where he has his farms into a model town in 30 years through modern day agri-business.

Great CV and now that I know that you are the Editor in Chief..I would like you to take a look at the subtle plagiarism that has occurred at the International pages of Graphic for the past 3years either because of change in style or design or whatever it is. Attributions in journalism are statement that deserve reference to their makers especially when an author decides to use them either vividly or paraphrases it to give their article credibility from a primary source. Attribution are different from sources. When the stories on the foreign pages are written to accommodate attribution and sources are left out? That amount to plagiarism….what then do I refer to as source? When 50% or more of the content of your story is taken word-for-word, or thought-by-thought from another media organization, then you need to state that source. E.g, story from Uganda….mostly written by BBC with some attributions to Reuters will be found in Graphic …the same but the source would not be stated..they usually will write Kampala. Please deal with that. This was not the case until 2010. Take a look at the paper you will see the difference. Sources (original idea holder of the story) need to be clarified like Graphic (in the past) and Ghanaian Times and all other newspaper around the world do. Let me know what it is Graphic is practicing. May be it is a new form of journalism and would like to learn it. Thank you.

    Ben thanks, it is the grace of God and the great team at Graphic that has brought us this far. We thank God. Yes we cannot drop our guard. There is still work to be done to ensure that we can immortalize what we do so that our work can stand the test of time. My question to myself is how will I be remembered 100 years after I am dead & gone. If I get to heaven & my work non earth can be remembered a 100 years after I am gone, then I am successful.
