National Coordinator of the “one district one factory” Gifty Ohene-Konadu has said the project is not a government project.
According to the Coordinator, government is only helping the private sector and the private entrepreneur to create jobs and employ people, at the same time would generate foreign exchange for the nation.
She said in an interview that the private sector would have its peace likewise government, again these businesses would pay tax to government, and hence government would have funds to develop our nation.
Mrs. Gifty Ohene-Konadu further indicated that some of the district might have more than one factory.
As to whether there had been much information and communications about the project, she said yes, whiles we are educating people others are at the background destroying and confusing people especially those who go on radio, she added.
Response I get from the secretariat, means the promoters have understood the concept very well, whiles the entrepreneurs who want to set up the factories have also understood it very well, she said.
“Those engaging in propaganda are the ones confusing people, but we have established some of the factories and people who are in the districts and can see some of these factories would attest to it”.
