Former Minister for Trade and Industry, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah has stated that the NDC government handed over a fully functioning Komenda Sugar factory to the current NPP government, as such the Akufo-Addo-led administration should be blamed for the redundant state of the factory.
In an interview with GhanaWeb editor, Kwabena Kyenkyenhene Boateng on ‘21 minutes with KKB’, Spio-Garbrah said this was not the first time an NPP government is collapsing an institution it inherited from a previous government.
According to him the NPP “have generally had a problem with what they inherit from another government”.
“If you go back to the Nkrumah era where Nkrumah left them almost 300 state-owned enterprises they consciously allowed many of these factories to collapse,” he added.
The NDC flagbearer hopeful stressed that sugar was produced from the Komenda Sugar factory when it was completed in 2016 in the presence of many including the media.
Asked where the sugar was now, he said, “the sugar is in the ground now, the factory is not working but it’s not the NDC government which is in power now…we handed over to them a completed sugarcane processing factory worth about $35million based on the loan of the Indian government so their job was to make sure the factory works”.
Spio-Garbrah was also concerned about the maintenance of the equipment in the factory which he said was the latest technology.
“I hope they are oiling the machines and maintaining them even if they are not letting it operate,” he said.

Does it really mean that the NDC is worst than Sodom and Gomorrah? Does it mean there is not even a single good soul among the lot? Does it mean if you do not graduate in lieess, falssehood, insuulltts. not forgetting corruption and the other vices you cannot lead in the NDC? Oh Spio! Kindly watch your moves for posterity is watching and leadership in the NDC is not the end of the world!
It saddens me when people who know the truth blatantly choose to peddle falshood. Wasn't Spio here when Rawlings and his PNDC/NDC-1 Sold all the industries in Tema to themselves and cronies? Spio you are dishonest and can never lead NDC. shame on you

Listen to another NDC ediiot talking?? You used to be my icon because you are an alumunus of my alma mater, but this one die3r, yawa!!!
Are you on drugs or something? You are not sensible at all and you want to be President? Apuuu
First I thought he was sensible and had a lot of sense to dish out but I am becoming worried about his state of mind now. He is now losing a large constituency by saying ***barred word*** things in order to be liked by NDC faithfuls. I am so sad that I never had the time to help him when he approached me to help out with his communication strategy.I have now realised that he is not a good material after all. I guess he is fighting a losing battle now
But how long does it take for a fully grown sugarcane to mature for processing?
What are you talking about Mr spio some of us have been around oooo for a long time.Afrc,pndc,ndc.we know your history.please come again how can you put up a sugar factory with out a sugar cane plantation to feed the factory.
Mr Spio Garbrah needs to acquaint himself with the history of his NDC administration. Hollow charlatans would would pose knowledgeable, we know, in this country.
