Reverend Christian Andrews, founder of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), has blamed President Nana Akufo-Addo and former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen for the rising cost of sugar.
He claims the Komenda Sugar Factory failed after it was handed over to a strategic investor under Kyerematen’s watch, leading to its collapse.
Reverend Andrews criticized the decision, stating that the factory is now non-functional and only serves as “furniture.”
His comments follow concerns raised by Trade Minister K.T. Hammond, who clarified that Ghana receives over $1 million annually in rent from the factory’s lease to West Africa Agro Limited.
