The Concerned Youth of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) has made a strong claim that the New Patriotic Party(NPP) government has financed the One District One factory through the establishment of Exim Bank Ghana, without recognizing the efforts put in place by the John Mahama administration.
The erstwhile administration established the Ghana Export-Import bank Act 2016 (Act 911) to support the government of Ghana’s quest for a feasible and sustainable export led economy.
According to the Concerned Youth of the NDC, the New Patriotic Party has used credit facility from the Exim bank to finance about 86 projects under their flagship program, the One District One factory, without recognizing the effort put in place by the previous government.
“What we want to place on record is that, the NDC government left a very good legacy behind, which the NPP government is riding on to implement their flagship programs. The various projects spread across the regions could not have been possible without access to medium to long term finance from Exim Bank,” this was contained in a statement signed by Yao Dogah, Convener of the group.
“The NDC government under the leadership of His Excellency John Mahama made Exim Bank accessible to every Ghanaian in an attempt to make sure businesses get credit support from Exim Bank to grow and expand so they can employ more Ghanaian and for the government to rake in more taxes,” it said.
The Ghana Exim Bank evolved as a result of a merger of 3 government agencies namely: the Export Trade, Agricultural and Industrial Development Fund, (EDAIF), Export Finance Company, (EFC) and EximGuaranty Company Limited.

NDC is a concert party,today they're telling us 86Projects are under construction?What a confused and a criminal bunch of bastard nonentities!€
SO THIS IS MAHAMA AND NDC FLAGSHIP PROBRAMME FOR EIGHT (8) YEARS? OH WHAT A USELESSLESS PARTY.
So the NPP have actually started 86 projects through the EXIMBANK alone under the 1D1F? I thought they have not done anything according to the NDC. no more comment!!!
I can't stop laughing. Oh NDC! You will kill us even before we die in this country ooo. In one breadth NPP, has not done anything. In another breadth, they have made use of NDC initiated programme without recognition. Today Free SHS is not good. Tomorrow, it is not sustainable. Today, we will abolish it, tomorrow, we will review it. Yesterday, Planting for Food and Jobs is not good. Tomorrow, we initiated it. NDC is just a bunch of political confused people. Tell the people of Ghana what you would do differently should they make mistake and vote you into power again, and this is what you talk about? Did you hear of the roads named the gang of four? Who started them and who completed them? Didn't NDC make use of the various social intervention programmes rolled out by NPP, namely, NHIS, Youth employment programme, Mass cocoa spraying, to mention but just a few? Most of these programmes were rather mismanaged and virtually collapsed before you left office. Please young men of NDC, it is not everything that comes to mind that the mouth must voice it out. If you do that, you continue to subject yourself to public ridicle. Please it is not everything that you are sent to say that must be said. Please, let us get serious in our politicking.
BUT THEY ARE SAYING NANA HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING,SINCE HE CAME TO POWER, NOW THEY CAN SEE 1D1F SPREAD AROUND. GOD HELP THEM TO SEE.
"E m pty Bar r ells" Who begun EDIF to EDAIF? NDC knows only how to create, lo o t and share. They created EXIMBANK and loo te d all the money from the coffers and left. So called concerned youth, find facts before you make claims. You are like your masters, no doubt!
