NPP’s definition of factory is when a market woman is able to process groundnut to ‘Kolekole’ – Ayorogo

The Executive Director for the Northern Patriots in Research and Advocacy (NORPRA), Bismark Adongo Ayorogo has noted that it should not be a surprise when the NPP-led administration says it has built more factories than any government since independence.

According to him, the understanding of factories amongst supporters and leaders of the NPP administration is skewed from the conventional, globally acclaimed, definition of what factories are. Mr. Ayorogo went on to suggest that under the current dispensation when a market woman at a corner store is able to process groundnut into ‘kolekole,’ “they will call that a factory”.

Mr. Ayorogo spoke on the Daybreak Upper East show on A1 Radio regarding the recent public lecture on digitalization and infrastructure held in Accra by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. Mr. Ayorogo noted that the current administration has not only shown gross incompetency in delivering its mandate, but it has also failed to make positive impacts on the living conditions of Ghanaians.

Centering around the Upper East Region, the Executive Director stressed that the region has not, and he doubts if it will, benefit anything tangible from the current government in terms of providing reasonable factories as it has done in other regions.

“I dare anyone in the region to pinpoint one factory that has been built in the region by this government like we can pinpoint such which were done by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and only left to riot”, he argued.

Mr Ayorogo, however, cautioned the government to be proactive in delivering its mandates as promised, if not, indigenes of the region will continue to speak their minds when they are satisfied with the policies and programmes of government.
