Minister for Special Development Initiatives, Mavis Hawa Koomson says by the end of August 2017 President Nana Akufo- Addo’s policy of “one district, one factory”, will kick start.
We are on course, a ten member committee is on the ground taking needs assessment and that is the starting of the whole show, she said.
Asked whether the “one village, one dam” is also on course, she emphasized that all priority policies have been captured.
“We have started working and did not wait until the Development Authority Bill is laid and passed before we carry out implementation. Ghanaians believe the President is committed to this flagship project and we will deliver”, she said.
As to whether getting funds to execute the projects will not be a challenge she said, “not at all” and was very optimistic about availability of funds for the project.
