JoyNews has released a documentary produced by Joojo Cobinah focusing on the abandoned Komenda sugar factory which has been rusting since the shutdown.
The old factory, built in 1964, disappeared around 30 years ago due to technical difficulties and poor management.
“He (President Nana Akufo-Addo) promised to fix the factory. But he broke that promise. We are therefore disappointed, ”said a resident of Komenda.
It may sound basic, but Ghana dreamed of starting to produce sugar locally to reduce the import of sugar. Hence the rebirth of the Komenda sugar factory.
A total of 7,300 jobs are expected to be created when the plant is fully operational.
The factory, which can crush 1,250 tonnes of sugarcane per day, was supposed to put a permanent smile on the faces of the farmers, who would directly feed the factory with raw materials and get paid.
On May 30, 2016, the factory gave hope to unemployed young people who dreamed of finally finding a job.
This dream faded after 5 years.
