Member of Parliament for KEEA Samuel Atta-Mills has taken a swipe at the Minister for Trade and Industry, Alan Kwadow Kyremantey for the conflicting representation he is giving to Ghanaians on the state of the Komenda Sugar Factory located as his constituency.
According to him the Minister in the seventh Parliament told the House that the factory is not producing any sugar when he appeared before the House on two occasions on the subject matter of the status of the factory.
Mr. Alan Kyremantey said, “There are so many things that had to be put in place that has not been done, but he came before the eighth Appointment Committee and said the factory produces sugar, so should we assume that what he said before the previous parliament was untruth and the vetting to was untruth?”
Mr. Atta-Mills in an interview pointed out that, politicians should be careful of things they say at a point in time when they think it is convenient for them to say A or B, “if you do good it has its own reward and if you do bad it has its own reward”.
On the issue of the Minister-designate then saying before the Appointment Committee that government has gotten a strategic investor in, he noted that he knows the investor personally and he has not signed any agreement with government on Komenda Sugar Factory. Rather, the agreement that the investor has signed is with the University of Cape Coast to provide the investor with different kinds of sugar cane.
