Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram Samuel George Nartey said it is not true that the failed one District one Factory (1D1F) programmes is behind the steel factory in Lakpleku in the Ningo-Prampram Traditional Area of his constituency.

According to the Ningo-Prampram lawmaker, B5 Plus manufacturing company had started working in Ghana in the Kpone Industrial enclave since 2016.

He further added that government of Ghana had no had in this steel company as it is privately owned and came into operation before the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) came to power.

Mr. Samuel George Nartey noted that the company as part of its expansion of operation by acquiring land in Lakpleku in the Ningo traditional area there was a land litigation between the company and family from which the company bought land from.

This delayed the ability of the company to move to their site to commence work and as the MP for the area the company engaged him to intervene with the family head to allow them start work pending a court determination, he said on his facebook post .

The Ningo-Prampram MP noted that the case was concluded six weeks ago giving B5 plus legal entry to the land to commence business, he said.

“Not only would factories spring up in my constituency, my next target is to get the management of factories to ring fence certain quota of their work force for the indigenes”, he emphasized.
