POLITICAL POLITICS OF INDUSTRY
- I don't think it is a necessarily bad idea if it is thought out well. Whether the idea is to get the government to set up these private factories or the NPP government decides to set them up themselves,...
Okay. So, the first time I heard about the NPP's Nana indicating they want to build factories in every districtwas I believe yesterday on Joy FM and I even tweeted (@marrickegane) about it when I believe Akomea indicated that "they will know the cost of the projects as soon as the feasibilities were known. I immediately HIT back to say NO NO NO Sir, you need to have costed your projects instead to determine their funding, operational and sustainability viability - not the other way round. At that point I quickly made a mental note - where then lies the comparative relevancy in questioning Mahama's Komenda factory without the raw materials - it’s also the other way round right???
