Former Minister for Trade and Industry, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen has asked Ghanaians to vote massively for the flagbearer of the party, Nana Akufo-Addo as he is the only one that will ensure creation of jobs to solve the country’s economic crisis.

According to him, the “1-District-1-Factory” policy will be one of the programmes for the creation of thousands of jobs for the unemployed Ghanaian youth across the country.

“If we have 216 factories in this country, it would mean that some of the items imported from outside of the country will be manufactured right here in Ghana. When we produce these items here, it would mean the appreciation and strengthening of the Ghana cedi. If there’s a factory in every district, why would our young men and women leave their respective homes for non-existent jobs in the city centres?” he asked.

Alan Kyerematen said: “With many Ghanaians engaged in their own private businesses, the NPP will make sure that there is availability of capital, at significantly lower lending rates, for the growth of businesses. 90% of jobs currently created in Ghana are through small businesses. The NPP is coming to assist the private sector, so they can create more jobs for the people.”

“Nana Akufo-Addo’s government is going to make sure that strategic anchor industries are created to provide more jobs for Ghanaians. These industries will include iron and steel, cement, bauxite and aluminum, petrochemical industry, vehicle assembly and the manufacture of machine parts and equipment.“If you are NDC supporter, and after listening to all these interventions, you will make a choice for the future of Ghana, which is voting for Nana Akufo-Addo”, stressing that “if President Mahama and the NDC had any plan for the creation of jobs, they would have rolled it out by now,” Alan Kyerematen added.
