Businessman, Daniel Nii McKorley (MacDan) has said persons who are against the contract awarded to one of his companies, Electrochem Ghana Limited, to mine salt at Ada in the Greater Accra region, do not love Ghana.
He said the project is offering jobs to over 1000 youth in the area to enable them to keep their body and soul together, therefore, no attempt should be made to destroy the project.
Electrochem secures a 15-year lease for salt mining as part of efforts to grow the economy.
In a TV3 documentary titled “Salt City” compiled by Joseph Armstrong and aired on Wednesday, April 20, Dr. Mc Korley said “This contract has nothing to do with politics, it is all about development. Right now, as we speak over 200 youth are working in this concession, they will be paid and earn income at the end of the day and they will be off the streets.
“Anybody who is really against this project or who wants to give bad publicity about this project, I don’t think the person loves Ghana.
“Which project will you be happy with, that is going to employ about 1000 youths in the community and you give it bad publicity? You don’t love Ghana.
“We cry every day that we need jobs, the job is here and because of somebody’s selfish interest, you want to destructively criticize this project. Then what about me the investor who is about pumping 106million dollars in the first phase of this project?” he questioned.
