Former Minister of Trade and Industry Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under John Dramani Mahama built more factories than known.
He cites how most of the factories secured funding and support from government agencies like the National Board for Small-Scale Industries, Export Development Bank as well as Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC).
He said the New Patriotic Party’s One-District One Factory Programme pales in comparison to the over 1,000 factories created under former President Mahama.
“If you are trying to look at whoever built factories and employed people, we did far more than anything the NPP has done so far,” he told 3news.com’s Komla Klutse on the sidelines of the 31st December commemoration in Winneba, Central Region last week.
He said the difference between what happened under the NDC and what is happening under the NPP “is branding and sloganeering difference”.
“If it is a matter of bragging, we could have bragged over 1,000 factories.
“More than 1,000 factories were created in the last Mahama administration. NPP had the slogan for it, which of course people can remember. NDC did not have a slogan for it.”

Mahama will laugh when he hears this. Because he knows that this is certainly not true.
Can you pls show us where they are. Please this is desperation talk.
I don't know how to call him either Doctor or Degrade. You have degraded your self to the foot of JDM, because of veep slot you want. List the names of the factories and their locations. Stop the lies cheap politics, Ghanaians are now enlighten.
SPIO HAS NO CREDIBILITY AND IT IS NO SECRETE TO HIS OWN NDC. IT IS NOT STRANGE THAT HE IS NOT DOING WELL IN NDC PRIMARIES. MILLS DISTRUSTED HIM AND MAHAMAH SUSPECTS HIM. THE MORE HE KEEP SILENCE THE BETTER FOR HIM.
Wow, a white lie. Where were the factories built?. May be in the famous Green Book but the only one i can remember which is on record is the Komenda Sugar Factory which didn't even produce one cube of sugar
!000 factories? Where in Ghana? You see fellow ghanaians, lets be weary of these people who call themselves democrats. this is democratic lies because they want power at all cost. Free SHS has beaten them to the game, 1D1F is beating them again so now they have to resort to lies. Please Papa Duncan Williams, Gen Arc-Bishop of Charismatic Churches in Ghana, do you now see the person you put in charge of the Dominion University College? He is just a greedy bastard. Now wonder he turned the University into a Vocational School which could not even award NVTI certificates to final years students before leaving to become Minister of Trade. Chief liar Spio.
