Former Deputy Minister for Finance, Kwaku Ricketts Hagan, has asserted that if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) comes into power in 2024, they will make sure the dormant Komenda Sugar Factory becomes operational in under a year.
During an appearance on Top Radio’s Final Point program, Ricketts Hagan emphasized the NDC’s track record of fulfilling promises and expressed the party’s commitment to ensuring the full functionality of the factory, originally built during a previous NDC administration.
“I can tell you that on authority,” he stated when asked by the host Kwabena Owusu Agyemang whether the factory will be revived if the NDC wins power.
Speaking about the 24-hour economy policy put forth by the NDC presidential candidate, former President John Dramani Mahama, the former deputy minister pointed out that the Komenda Sugar Factory will play a significant role in ensuring the policy’s success and spurring economic growth.
“John Mahama has done it before so if we say that John Mahama can operationalise Komenda Sugar Factory and build more Sugar factories we know what we are talking about,” he stated.
