"One district one factory is a laudable idea" - Prestea Chief

According to Nana Ntaboah Prah, the policy which he believes can be done by a Nana Addo led government can produce a district factory at Prestea which will refine gold to add value for the gold mined.

"In the cocoa growing areas they may need a cocoa processing facility...but what we the people in this mining area will want if you become the president of Ghana is a gold refinery facility. Kwame Nkrumah built one, but it has been converted into a university hall, meanwhile gold is in abundance here. I believe you can do this".

Nana Ntaboah Prah was speaking at his palace when the flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party NPP, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo visited his palace at Prestea in his five-day visit to the western region.

Nana Prah also urged Nana Addo to give the Bogoso Prestea road a facelift when he emerges the winner of the December polls.

"Another problem is also the lack of a well thought out development blueprint which we can point at in all these years of gold mining in Prestea. I was sad when I read from one of the online news portals comparison between South Africa and Prestea. It's a sad story. I am pleading with you to assist produce a well thought out development blueprint which will transform Prestea and beyond."
