He said his administration had established a complaint centre to help resolve concerns of customers. “ Let’s, therefore, allow the system to work for the mutual benefit of all,” he said.

He thanked the District Police Command and the Municipal Author­ity for their respective assistance to the association and its members. He added that it was refreshing to note that theft cases had subsided in the area.

Mr Siaw called on members who had not registered with the associa­tion to do so in order to get a sound revenue base to operate effectively.

He was not happy with the man­ner in which valuable spare parts were carried on motorcycles and delivered to customers, stressing that the new administration should work hard in curbing the practice.

The Chairman of the new ex­ecutive, Mr Henry Okyere Juniour also thanked the members for the confidence reposed in his team and promised to give Abbosey Okai a “new look and assured all that he would work hard in promoting the interest of members.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.

But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
