Some Members of Parliament (MPs) have
questioned why imported furniture from China was used in refurbishing the
chamber of Parliament. The President since the beginning of the year has been
championing a campaign for citizens to patronize made in Ghana products in a
bid to reduce the country’s import dependency and help local industries create
jobs. He has since been imploring citizens to change their uncontrolled taste
for foreign goods and switch to made-in-Ghana goods. On the back of this campaign, some
MPs are baffled that government failed to use locally manufactured chairs to
refurbish the nation’s Parliament. According to Citi News’, further
imports will be made to supply the offices of Members of Parliament and people are beginning to ask serious questions as to why the country is depending
on imports to furnish our Parliament. President Mahama on several visits to
local manufacturing companies in the country has reitrated government’s
commitment to support indigenous manufacturing companies to blossom to maturity. The President released a list of made in
Ghana products he uses in his home daily and urged
Ghanaians to do same.
