1D1F: Name the specific factories that are operating and their location – Buah tells govt - www.asempanews.com

Ellembelle Member of Parliament Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah has challenged the government to give specifics in terms of the factories under the One District One Factory (1D1F) initiative that are operating.

.

In his view, contrary to the claims by the government that the programme has succeeded, the 1D1F has been a monumental failure.

.

“Today, in paragraph 598 of the 2023 budget we are told that the total of 296 one district one factory projects are at various stages of development and that, 126 factories are operational but we are not specifically told the name of the factory or the district where these factories are located

He said “Today, as I speak to you we have close to 300 factories under the Akufo-Addo government

“Let us assume Mr Speaker, if since 1992, all the presidents that have come to stay on for 8 years, now Akufo-Addo is the 5th President, if every president was bringing or churning out 300 factories in Ghana we will be having 1,500 companies as at today.

“Unfortunately, from 2009 to 2026 the Komenda Sugar factory is the only one that we heard off from the other side (NDC) and yet they have the effrontery to speak to us as if we have not done anything in this country.

“When some president had the opportunity in this fourth republic to ensure that they provide workforce for the youth they rather sold the factories or companies that we had in Ghana.”
