President Akufo-Addo will on Friday, August 25, launch his government's flagship "One District One Factory" policy.
A statement issued by the Presidency noted that the policy is "in fulfillment of a pledge by President Akufo-Addo to see the actualization of the industrialization of Ghana as part of the transformation process he envisages for the country. The policy, when implemented will create the environment conducive for each local government areas to own factories relative to their well-endowed resources and capacity to provide jobs and wealth for the country".
The launch will include a sod-cutting to commence the construction of the Ekumfi Fruit Processing Company factory which will process pineapples for the local and international market.
Commenting on the issue on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', the former Member of Parliament for La Dadekotopon, Nii-Amasah Namoale, has commended the President stating emphatically that the "One District One Factory" policy is a good initiative by the government.
According to him, the programme will create jobs for the Ghanaian population and so the President deserves to be encouraged to undertake the project.
Hon. Namoale wished the Akufo-Addo administration well as they roll out the policy to bridge the gap between the employed and unemployed in the nation, and further enhance the country's progress.
He however seized an opportunity on 'Kokrokoo' to clear the minds of Ghanaians about the stance of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on the policy.
He stressed that no NDC member ever condemned the policy and that news about the NDC's dislike for the initiative was all cooked up by the ruling New Patriotic Party.
"I will never condemn neither will any NDC person condemn it. I strongly believe that no NDC person has condemned ’1 District, 1 Factory’ policy," he said.
He dared the government to name any NDC member who ever spoke ill about the policy.
"You are condemning it yourselves and saying that the NDC says we cannot do it. If you feel there’s an NDC person who said we can’t do it, mention his name . . . No NDC member has said you can’t do it,” he said.

Eating humble pie is very difficult but honorable for men and women to maintain their integrity if they have any. Till today, Koku Anyidoho makes bold claims that the NPP lied their way to win power. The premise for this statement was the promises for 1D1F, 1-Dam-1 Village, $1-District, Free SHS, Reinstatement of Teachers/Nurses allowances etc. The NDC will be reminded continually that they said it was all a hoax to hoodwink the people for votes. If they regret saying that, the right thing to do is to say to Ghanaians SORRY .... we were wrong and incompetent but not to say we NEVER said it. We do not have short memories.
MPs must represent the views of their constituents. Anytime an MP speaks we must assume that those are the views of his or her constituents. There must be mutual respect on the floor of parliament. The Majority and Minority leaders must, as much as possible, give equitable access to all parliamentarians; they represent whole constituencies.
These NDC people are now just irritating everyone else. People are no longer taking you people serious.
No wonder your name even became barred word.gyiiiimmmmmy
As for ndc,even Satan marvel at their diabolic ways.they are doing more than him(Satan)
JOHN MAHAMA THE FORMER PRESIDENT CONDEMNED THE IDEA, SAYING NANA ADDO WOULD SOON PROMISE GHANAIANS "ONE KENKEY ONE FISH', 'ONE MAN ONE WIFE", ETC ETC. WHERE WAS NAMOALE THEN?
What type of factories? simple question and NPP can't answer. You can go about throwing factories into bushes when you have no technicians and energy to run them. In the end you will have nothing to show, and 4 years is just at the corner.
