Creating more jobs is our goal - PPP

By Afedzi Abdullah, GNA
Cape Coast, July 15, GNA - Mrs Sarah Bucknor, the Progressive People's Party's (PPP) Parliamentary candidate for Cape Coast North, has said the PPP was the only party standing tall among the rest.

She said the party is ready to create more jobs for the teaming unemployed youth in the country.

Speaking to party faithful, supporters and sympathizers at Abura, a suburb of Cape Coast, to kick start her 2016 campaign ahead of the November 7 polls, Mrs Bucknor said empowering the youth and women economically was one of the key philosophies of the Party.

She said although the party was not in power it had been able to provide many jobs for the youth and would do more if given the opportunity.

Citing the numerous companies, factories, industries and allied businesses established by the party's Flagbearer, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, she asked Ghanaians to entrust the nation's resource in his hands because he was capable of giving Ghanaians better leadership.

She said the PPP Government would provide Ghanaians with competent and visionary leaders to turn the dwindling fortunes of the nation around and propel the country into accelerated development and therefore must be given the nod come November 2016.

The Party according to her would provide free compulsory education to every Ghanaian child from the basic to the senior high level, ensure access to quality health care and restore the state's responsibility for a clean and healthy environment.

She said even though successive governments had over the years failed the people and had put the country in a 'rotten state', Ghanaians have the 2016 general elections to correct the error they made in 2012 by voting for the PPP.

She said the high cost of living, unfulfilled promises, uncaring leaders and continued 'Dumsor' was the price Ghanaians were paying for not voting for the PPP in 2012.

Dr Nii Allotey Brew- Hammond, National Chairman of the Party, reiterated the party's commitment in uprooting corruption from the body-politic of the country to reverse the economy into a vibrant one through the use of government's purchasing power.

He urged the people of Cape Coast North and all Ghanaians to vote PPP into power to end the poverty and economic hardship they were going through.
