The Majority Caucus has announced plans to request a detailed audit of the One District One Factory (1D1F) policy when Parliament resumes, citing widespread concerns over corruption and abuse under the programme.
According to the Caucus, the audit will aim to identify the companies that benefited from tax exemptions and determine how those exemptions were utilised.
The Majority said the policy has failed to achieve its core objectives of industrialisation and job creation.
Describing the initiative as a “monumentally failed policy,” the Caucus argued that its poor outcomes resulted from weak oversight and blatant misuse of public incentives.
“If the policy had worked as advertised, thousands of young people would be in stable private sector jobs today,” Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga said, accusing the Minority of feigning concern over youth unemployment.
The Majority added that the audit will ensure accountability and help prevent the repetition of policies that drain public resources without delivering meaningful economic benefits.
