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.”

Ask this guy how he came by his doctorate degree. Do you remember Koku Anyidoho, called this man Dr Spio-Garbrah my foot? I am sure Koku knows how he came by his doctorate degree. Where are the 1000 factories located Spio? Remember this is the end of your presidential ambition. You are a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. Ghana is in serious trouble indeed. The likes of this guy wanted to be a president of Ghana. What do you want from JDM? Is it running mate? I can assure you that you will not get the slot, so stop the lies. May God forgive you. You better retract your shameful statement.
Mr Spio are serious? Remember we are in 2020 no bragging as u said. Pls shine ur eye.
So where are the factories? You a Christian don't .stop the lies. God is watching you.
Mahama won’t make you his running candidate, not even with this lies. Please behave
Dr Gyimituusa, name the factories and where they are located.Did you put them in the NDC Green book? Liar will continue to lie. Will NDC do something and never showcase.Even circle interchange billboard were posted in the whole country.
Wow! OVER 1000 factories? Really? He looks straight into our eyes and tells us this without shame? And this man wants to be the president of this country one day? Surprisingly some so called well educated experts who are supposed to know better will believe him and not reprimand him for thinking that we are all dum*b to believe him. Oh Ghana. Now they are beginning to see that the factories that the government claimed they had partnered the private sector to build are true as the media have begun to find out through various reportage so now they have to say something to cover their shame. And this is how they start. Interesting times ahead
