  What you have just written is at variance with the total condemnation of your Vice.That is a step forward in redeeming your image.
  
  However I have reservations as to the assumptions used in arriving at your conclusions. I shall be brief because I have not got time.
  First, this project has not got a short lifespan for you to be making the assumptions upon which you are basing your argument.
  
  Every project starts with a massive net inflow of funds which then evens out midway and then finally leads to profit making. For you to base your argument on just a snapshot of current conditions is weak in my estimation.
  
  It is also fallacious to think that a government cannot run a profitable job. You are a brainwashed CAPITALIST.
  IMANI is funded by business entities with Capitalist inclination so I am not surprised.
  
  Every business is a risky venture. Risks and Returns are positively correlated. The higher the risk the more returns an individual is prepared to accept for his/her investment. For now from your write up we are not even sure of the rate of return of your analysis.
  
  Mind you governments are not bound to use financial rates in their viability analysis. Governments around the world often use Social rates in project evaluations. The Social Rates and Financial Rates are two different rates. Make reference to Project Analysis literature.
  
  Governments factor in so many factors in determining their rates upon which they evaluate projects.
  
  It is therefore not surprising your Institute arrive at different results from that of Government's. Your rate of returns is limited in my estimation.
  
  Your institute needs to invest in personnel good at evaluating Social Projects. It appears you use the wrong evaluation techniques. Yours is a technique used by Capitalist entities who are into financial gains.
  
  To part ways tell your colleagues to read more before coming out with Public statements that are damaging to your reputation.

  FOR THE KOMENDA SUGAR FACTORY TO MEET ITS PRODUCING TARGET, ALSO CALLS FOR MORE CONTRACT SUGAR CANE GROWERS NOT ONLY IN KOMENDA BUT, AT REGIONS WHERE THE ANNUAL RAINFALL IS 1,5000 mm.
  
  IT IS A PERENNIAL PLANT,WITH A HARVEST GROWTH OF 12-18 MONTHS AND THEREFORE, THE AUTHORITIES OF KOMENDA SUGAR FACTORY WILL HAVE TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL 200,000 HECTARES LAND TO GUARANTEE PRODUCTION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE YEAR:
  
  THE CHALLENGES CAN BE MET WITH EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT.

  It is very sad the way some of you sit on the fence and do postmortem on everything government did.
  All this stupid analysis is not what we need. You lots claim there are no jobs so why don't you encourage people to go into sugar cane farming to feed the factory instead of always talking nonesense?
  You don't see anything good this government does. This administration may be bad but I think it so with the type of citizens we have.
  God bless Ghana.
