Mahama Ayariga is the Majority leader in parliament
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.
In a statement signed by the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, on January 26, 2026, the caucus noted that it intends to conduct an audit to identify companies that benefited from tax exemptions and to establish how those exemptions were utilised.
The Majority said the policy failed to achieve its core objectives of industrialisation and job creation.

Describing the initiative as a “monumentally failed policy,” the Majority argued that its poor outcomes were a direct result of weak oversight and the blatant misuse of public incentives.
“If the policy had worked as advertised, thousands of young people would be in stable private sector jobs today,” Ayariga said, while accusing the Minority of pretending to care about youth unemployment.
The Majority added that the audit will ensure accountability and help prevent a repeat of policies that drain public resources without delivering meaningful economic benefits.
