A constituent from Okere in the Eastern Region has challenged the District Chief Executive (DCE) to provide evidence of the “1 District, 1 Factory” initiative promised by the government.
The constituent claims that the promises made by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) appear to be empty and lack substantial backing.
He asserts that there is no visible implementation of the “1 District, 1 Factory” program.
“Where is the ‘1 District, 1 Factory’ that was promised to us? We have not seen any evidence of it. We have waited for so long,” the Okere constituent stated.
His remarks have sparked mixed reactions on social media.
One District One Factory also known as 1D1F is a Government of Ghana policy.
It is aimed at creating jobs for Ghanaians through the setting up of factories and industries which will in turn move the country towards greater industrialization.
The policy was first introduced to Ghanaians in 2016 as part of manifesto of the New Patriotic Party of Ghana.
The programme received a boost on January 13, 2018, with the commissioning of Twyford Ceramics factory by President Nana Akufo-Addo at Shama District in the Western region.
