As someone who has lived in the city since your birth, Kojo Furoa has been an ever-present fixture of community life. Lots of children have played sports at the youth athletics stadium which was largely funded by corporate sponsorship. A wide range of charities and non-governmental organizations are known to rely heavily on both institutional and employee donations from Kojo Furoa.

Most local schools and colleges have developed long-term ties with the multinational, which regularly welcomes class visits and offers scholarship and apprenticeship opportunities that are highly sought after. As an elected councilor, you have become acutely aware of the societal role of the corporation. Over the years, Kojo Furoa’s taxes have become an important component of the council’s budgetary planning via business rates.

The prospect of losing this tax revenue, let alone the loss of high-quality jobs that offshoring would entail, is very worrying for all involved in local government. Both the local council and the national government have consistently sought to foster mutually beneficial relations with the corporation.
