CPP TO PROVIDE JOBS — NDUOM (Page 17)

Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Koforidua

THE flag bearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, has stated that the CPP would come up with a
policy that would provide jobs for the teeming jobless people.
He therefore called for support to enable the party to win this year’s general election.
Dr Nduom made the statement when he addressed drivers and passengers at Koforidua last Monday.
Dr Nduom, who was accompanied by Mr Felix Amoah, a one-time Eastern Regional Minister and other executive of the CPP, was in the Eastern Regional Capital to formally introduce himself to the people and solicit their support.
He said the CPP had identified unemployment as one of the main problems facing the nation and that the party would institute policies that would support the private sector to employ people of working age, adding that would go a long way to reduce poverty in the country.
 “Formerly it was the state which was employing people but now things have changed and it is the private sector which is performing that function, so the CPP will give the necessary financial support to the private sector to deliver the goods”, Dr Nduom stated, to thunderous applause.
Dr Nduom was mobbed by the traders at the Central Market and assured them that it was time for them to vote for the CPP since they had already tried the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), adding that the CPP was the best party to bring progress to the nation.
Earlier, Dr Nduom stated at a press briefing that the CPP had mapped out a strategy that would enable it to win this year’s elections, adding that the party was now composed mainly of young people with dynamic leaders capable of leading the party to power.
With regard to his relationship with others who contested the flagbearership with him but lost, he said all of them had been supportive and were going round to spread the “good message” of the party to win the elections.
