Komenda sugar factory: the very concept of achieving import substitution as Trade Policy, creating jobs from top to bottom is gone out of the window

In the 60s, Osagyefo's Ghana had factories producing sugar from start to finish. A box containing sugar cubes had a label, _Made in Ghana._ That light blue colored box with the name, ' _Ghana_ printed on the top, was good enough to take to other African countries as a souvenir, with pride. An uncle, a sailor with the _Black Star Line_ , Ghana's premier sea liner, told me

Today, we are in 2024, and our only sugar factory, built at the same spot Nkrumah built his. This new factory, surprisingly can not produce sugar from start to finish and, according to a neocolonialist and a buffoon, KT Hammond, the factory was not built properly(whatever that means)

So he, together with Akufo Addo and Bawumia, have handed over that factory built with borrowed money to foreign operators who from now on import semi-processed sugar from abroad to be turned into refined sugar in Ghana.

The whole concept of boosting _Domestic Production,_ the Import Substitution factor to reduce our over reliance on foreign imports and creating Ghanaian jobs from top to bottom, that concept is completely defeated.

Considering that the same Osagyefo gave us a top university for the study of sciences and technology. Today. Neocolonialist are making us believe that Ghana, we don't have the technical and technological and economic capacity to administer, manage, and operate one sugar factory. What a bloody, bloody shame
