He also holds a Graduate Diploma in Business Studies from the Institute of Commercial Studies, United Kingdom, and is a Graduate Member of the Chartered Institute of Administrators and Management Consultants, Ghana.
What’s remarkable about Brogya Genfi is his passion for politics as a youth activist, serving as the regional youth organizer of the NDC in the Ashanti Region and the party’s parliamentary candidate for Suame in the 2016 election.
Currently, he serves as the Deputy Director for Special Duties, NDC.
