Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia's claim that the Mahama administration built only two factories against the Akufo-Addo government's 150 is a lie, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said.
Dr Bawumia, during one of his campaign toirs ahead of today's (Tuesday, 23 May 2023) Kumawu by-election in the Ashanti Region, said the "NDC built only two factories but the NPP has built over 150".
The biggest opposition party, in a statement, said: "The claim by the Vice President is a barefaced lie", the NDC said in a statement signed by national communications officer Sammy Gyamfi.
"For the records", the statement added, "the erstwhile NDC/Mahama administration established strategic, high-priority state-owned factories that anchored growth in key sectors of the Ghanaian economy".
"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 programme, 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".
