The Central Regional Communications Officer of
the largest opposition party, the NDC- Mr Kwesi Dawood does not
understand why in almost 4yrs, the NPP Govt of President Nana Akufo Addo
has refused to give priority to the Elmina Fish Processing Factory
built by President John Mahama. The versatile and veteran RCO took to
his Facebook wall with the following:
"Below are some pictures
from a 100 ton per day Fish Processing Factory which was built,
completed and commissioned at Elmina in the Central Region by President
John Dramani Mahama. It is to offer a modern environment for the
processing and storage of fish to avert spoilage and it's attendant
losses to our fisherfolk along the coastal belt of Ghana.
Sadly,
Nana Akufo Addo's NPP Govt has refused to operationalise the factory to
the full capacity whilst the Nation suffers its consequences. Can you
imagine? The factory which will lead to the creation of hundreds of
direct and indirect jobs along the fishing value chain for our
graduates, skilled and unskilled youths, has been left to its fate
because it is a JM Legacy. Well, #2020 is not far to right the wrongs
and continue with the transformational agenda.
Knowing that
Central Region Fisherfolks and their family members, as well as
dependents of the fishing industry, are poised to vote them out of power
for the transformational NDC Govt of the Visionary JM to come and
continue his positive agenda for fisherfolks from all 10 Coastal
Constituencies of Central Region, Akufo Addo & his NPP, the NIA and
the EC are bent on rigging the 2020 elections with their insistence on
the xenophobic register but they lie badly.
#NyameTseAse"
Many
residents along the coasts in the ten (10) Coastal Constituencies of
the Central Region from Gomoa Dampase to Kafodzidzi in KEEA finds it
difficult to understand why a Govt that promised one district, one
factory will intentionally turn a blind eye to the plight of the
Fisherfolks so far as the Gov'ts wilful refusal to operationalise the
Elmina Fish Processing Factory built by President John Mahama into full
capacity is concerned in this era of post-harvest losses during this
Coronavirus pandemic which is negatively impacting on their activities.
