NANA Frimpomaa Sarpong Kumakuma

The Chairperson and Leader of the Convention People’s Party [CPP] is urging the government in power to invest in the youth of our country to help the vision to rescue the nation from external powers that influence developmental policies.

This she said in a press briefing on the 64^th anniversary of Ghana at the Party’s Headquarters in Accra.

According to Nana Frimpomaa Sarpong Kumakuma, all social intervention policies developed have yielded little or no results because 12% of our labor force are unemployed and more than 50% are under-employed.

“Ever since the overthrow of Dr, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah in 1966, there is no proper vision and plan developed to honor the zeal which our ancestors drove out the colonist.”

“Also the societies that we called developed has always centralized their development around the economic welfare of the youth”

Nana Frimpomaa disclosed that Ghana might be growing on paper but the reality is otherwise with increasing youths in dropouts, ‘kayeyeis’, truck pushing and street selling.

In her statement, she urged the ruling government to support the youth of this country with repayable funds and this should be under appropriate agencies to curtail the ‘family and friends’ only slogan

“We are pleading on behalf of Ghanaian youth that, the government intervene with an emergency national youth fund of $2 billion to award GHC10, 000 to one million youth each to improve their economic situation”

In addition, Nana advocated for an independent secretariat to be set up and should be governed by the opposition and special interest group to oversee the appropriate disbursement of funds to those who need it the most.

GHANA 64TH ANNIVERSARY  

“As a dependent economy, we must focus on what is urgent and we in the CPP believe that the ingenuity and brilliance of Ghanaian youth was and is the major catalyst for the worldwide interest in Ghana and before the tourist sites”.

We are asking that, next year by this time a minimum of one million youth will be awarded GHC 10,000 each and this will be one of the greatest economic stimulus program in Ghana’s history

The CPP believes that this fund will empower them massively to participate in the economic reform and growth of our motherland Ghana
