I Will Establish Gomoa Nyanyano Salt Factory If Elected

Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama, has promised to establish a salt factory at Gomoa Nyanyano in the Central Region should he win the 2020 presidential polls. According to the former President, the establishment of the factory will boost the local economy and give the youth of the area employment

opportunities. “The salt industry will be boosted in Gomoa Nyanyano. After we have set up the salt factory, it is the youth of this area who will get employment,” he assured. Mr. Mahama was speaking at a meeting with fishermen and fishmongers at Gomoa Nyanyano on the first day of his tour of the Central Region. He lamented the current practice under President Nana Akufo Addo

where he said NPP officials have usurped the responsibilities of the landing beach committees established by the NDC, and are distributing premix fuel, outboard motors, and other fishing inputs, in a partisan manner. “It came to light recently that an NPP party executive had taken over and was selling outboard motors. But how can a party person be selling out

outboard motors,” he wondered. He, therefore, promised that when the NDC returns to the office, he would reinstate the landing beach committees under the stewardship of the chief fishermen, and work without any partiality or consideration for party affiliation. The NDC Presidential Candidate also reiterated a promise first made in 2016 to build a community day secondary

school for Gomoa Nyanyano adding that even though he could not win the 2016 elections to fulfil that pledge, he is confident of winning the 2020 elections and will therefore fulfill the promise. He assured the people that the cold store project begun by the NDC and abandoned by the Akufo-Addo government would be continued. Mr. Mahama also promised to build for them wharfs and complete the road leading to the community.
