Member of Parliament for Yapei-Kusawgu constituency in the Northern Region and a former deputy Minister for Energy, Hon. John Jinapor has vowed to quit politics if the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is able to honour its campaign promise of giving each of the 275 constituencies 1 million dollars every year.

The policy which is under the infrastructure for poverty eradication will cost a total of $1.6 billion.

With this amount the NPP government will invest in pro-poor policy in villages across the country.

However, the Yapei-Kusawgu Member of Parliament says, it is practically impossible for the NPP government to fulfil the campaign promise per documents available to him.

Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he argued that the NPP government is finding it difficult to find its feet let alone honour various campaign promises.

"I will quit politics if the NPP is able to fulfil the promise of giving each constituency 1 million dollars. They can’t do it. How many constituencies have so far received that money. I am telling you, if they do it, I will quit politics completely. Next year if the budget comes and it is captured that the money has been paid to them, I will quit politics," he emphasized.

The ruling New Patriotic Party promised to give every constituency some 1 million dollars to aid them carry out development projects in their various constituencies and to aid in job creation, but two years down the line, no constituency has received such amount.

Mr. Jinapor also rubbished assertions by the ruling party that its One-District-One-Factory initiative is on course, arguing that it is a hoax, adding that the number of factories that were supposed to be rolled out by now falls short.

"The 1 district 1 factory was one of the policies I believed if the government was able to execute properly, it will help address the country's current unemployment situation, but this government is just commissioning anything including factories owned by individual businessmen across the country," he said.

The One-District-One-Factory programme is aimed at establishing, at least, one factory or enterprise in each of the 216 districts as a means of creating economic growth poles that would accelerate the development of those areas and create jobs for the teeming youth.

The policy aims to transform the structure of the economy from one dependent on production and export of raw materials to a value-added industrialized economy, driven primarily by the private sector.
