Politics of Friday, 10 January 2020Source: Graphic.com.ghWhy Spio-Garbrah says NDC may have built over 1,000 factoriesEkwow Spio-GarbrahA leading member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and a former Minister of Trade, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah has provided a clarification on his argument that the NDC may have built over 1000 factories in Ghana. In a Facebook post on Friday [January 10, 2020], Spio-Garbrah explained that if the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government was taking credit for factories being built by private individuals, then the NDC can equally argue that it supervised the construction of over 1000 factories by private individuals. To Mr Spio-Garbrah if the NPP is taking credit for factories being built by individual businessmen as factories being built under the government’s “One District One Factory” initiative, then the NDC could also lay claim to over 1,000 factories built during its last administration with government’s support. Below is the postMy attention has been drawn to a widely circulating news story to the effect that “NDC built over 1,000 factories under Mahama”. My obvious point is that under both the NPP and NDC regimes it is private people establishing factories with the help of the government.
