Former Minister for Trade and Industry, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah has stated that the NDC government handed over a fully functioning Komenda Sugar factory to the current NPP government, as such the Akufo-Addo-led administration should be blamed for the redundant state of the factory.
In an interview with GhanaWeb editor, Kwabena Kyenkyenhene Boateng on ‘21 minutes with KKB’, Spio-Garbrah said this was not the first time an NPP government is collapsing an institution it inherited from a previous government.
According to him the NPP “have generally had a problem with what they inherit from another government”.
“If you go back to the Nkrumah era where Nkrumah left them almost 300 state-owned enterprises they consciously allowed many of these factories to collapse,” he added.
The NDC flagbearer hopeful stressed that sugar was produced from the Komenda Sugar factory when it was completed in 2016 in the presence of many including the media.
Asked where the sugar was now, he said, “the sugar is in the ground now, the factory is not working but it’s not the NDC government which is in power now…we handed over to them a completed sugarcane processing factory worth about $35million based on the loan of the Indian government so their job was to make sure the factory works”.
Spio-Garbrah was also concerned about the maintenance of the equipment in the factory which he said was the latest technology.
“I hope they are oiling the machines and maintaining them even if they are not letting it operate,” he said.

Massa I respect you a lot. Kindly allow the serious callers to be saying such things. How can you complete a factory without any plan of cultivating sugar cane? I beg you don't follow the crowd wae
What is the use of that party if they lack kritical thinkers?
Eeeeiiii ! So is that all ndc have? What us the use if that party if they lack kritical thinkers? This confused idi*t also want to flagbearer of the ndc eeeeiiiiiiii ! Ndc awuto party ! Ndc wasaman 11, moasa papa ! Akoa yi agyimi papa so is this what ndc is going to present? Oooh no wonder, they are glamouring around the odwanfun Eeeiiii is it a curse from those who were killed in cold blood during the revolution or a spell from the hardship ndc created on Ghanaians to l000t and share? Because I don't understand what is happening to that party agyimifuo nkoaaaaaaa! Eeeeeeii! From their Asofuo, to presidential hopefuls, national executives right to their mps down to their footsoldiers none make sense, what is this? And so there is nobody in the ndc sensible enough to inherit JJ Rawlings? JJ woabr3 agu! JJ f*ols followed you and have brought forth double f000*00ls with sharp teeth wearing pampers who are insulting you and disrespecting your wife and family. The most miserable part of life is being successful and bequeath your legacy to f000*00ls is like throwing precious beads infront of pigs. JJ, look at your party even when you are alive, what will happen after you are gone your guess is as mine. Is your legacy going to be like Osagyefo? JJ think over it before things get out of hands. It would have been better for you without forming ndc but rather writing a book about your autobiography for generations to read than creating these f0000*00ls who have created this l00000*00t and share legacy which has given them good living but losing their minds.
Waaa look! Is this one too a Presidential material? Already lying like this. Spio come again.
Look at such a liar who wants to be the President... SMH
Spio will have hard time campaigning against the NPP should he become the NDC flag-bearer if these are the arguments he's going to put up.
