Don't forget your promise to us - Akpeteshie brewers to Akufo-Addo

They have urged the president not to forget to fulfill his campaign promise of establishing a distilling factory in the area when he is voted into power.

He said the area had often not voted for the New Patriotic Party but decided to do so in the December 2016 elections due to the assurance that was given to them by the NPP.

“President Akufo Addo during his campaign visited this area and told us that his one-district one-factory programme will be implemented here in Jato by building a distillery for us to help in our brewing of Akpeteshie. We were so excited about that hence we voted massively for the NPP to get its first electoral victory in this area since 1992. We believe in Nana to honour his promise. This is a gentle reminder.”

Baffuor Teitey Adjewi Narh believes that the establishment of the distillery will provide employment for the young people of the area who have left to seek greener pastures elsewhere.

He also called on the president to ensure that the price of sugar and other materials are reduced for production when the factory is established.

The move, he believes, will enable them to stay in business.
