“I Am Not A Fṏṏl To Construct A Factory Without Supplying Raw Materials” – John Mahama
Former Ghanaian President John Mahama has responded to allegations that he developed the Komenda Sugar Factory without making raw materials available.
In response, he stated that there is no way he will establish a factory without first providing the necessary raw materials.
He mentioned that because of his economic experience in school, he understands that a factory cannot be built without raw materials.
Mr. Mahama stated that the Indian government had requested that the facility be established first, following which the nation would apply for financing to help with raw material production.
