The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken a swipe at Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia over the latter’s claims about the number of factories the NPP has built since it took office.
Addressing constituents of Kumawu at the MPP’s final rally ahead of the Kumawu by-election, the Vice President claimed that “NDC built only two factories but the NPP has built over 150 factories.”
“The claim by the Vice President is a barefaced lie. For the records, the erstwhile NDC/Mahama administration established strategic, high priority State-owned factories that anchored growth in key sectors of the Ghanaian economy.”
But the NDC has disputed the assertions saying We must hasten to point out to the Vice President that if his so-called 150 factories claim relates to government’s poorly-implemented 1D1F program, then he needs to educate himself and cure his own ignorance about the nature of their so-called 1D1F initiative. This is because, none of the said 1D1F factories, was actually built by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government.”
The statement signed by Sammy Gyamfi, the party’s communication officer further reacted to the claims by Dr. Bawumia saying “Indeed, it is noteworthy to remind Bawumia and his likes that Manasseh Azuri Awuni, the journalist who investigated the guinea fowl production and marketing joint venture project by the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) and the Asongtaba Cottage Industry is on public record to have refuted this claim”.
