‘1-district, 1-factory’: NDC MP lobbies for 'gari' factory
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Upper West Akim
Constituency in the Eastern Region has implored
his colleague MPs to be proactive on President
Akufo-Addo’s promises to the people of Ghana.

Derik Darko Ohene Assifo Bekoe said the President
has promised constructing one factory for every
district but if the leaders such as MPs and
Municipal, Metropolitan and District Chief
Executives (MMDCEs) sit idle waiting for the
President to construct the factories, it will
never come to pass.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP was
speaking on Onua FM’s Ghana Dadwene on Thursday,
March 9 hosted by Nana Yaw Opare.

The former DCE for Upper West Akim said “the
President said he will do one district one
factory. You sit and see if President will bring
it. You must lobby before they can come and that
is what I am doing”.

He said he will sit down with his people to
determine what factory will be suitable in the
constituency.

“We must start looking for lands. We must do a
proposal. We must get the raw material in place
before the President starts the factory,” the MP
explained. Proposed factory Mr. Ohene Assifo Bekoe
said “we can establish a gari factory there
because the best gari comes from Adeiso”.

“We manufacture the best gari in Ghana. If you
want the best gari, come to Adeiso because we
export gari to Nigeria and even European
countries.”
