Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has said his next administration is planning to include an aggressive job and entrepreneurial program in the public and private sector; that will deliver a minimum of 250,000 jobs every year.
According to him, a total of 1,000,000 jobs across the country will be created by the end of my term in office in 2024.
Speaking at official outdoor of his running mate, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, the former president who is seeking re-election said his next administration will put Ghanaians to work to earn a decent living.
He said “My brothers and sisters, tonight is for my Running Mate. I will leave the rest for my Policy Dialogue Sessions and the launch of our Manifesto in August, during which we will discuss and debate the NDC’s solutions and plans for our country.”
The NDC leader said” Of course, the elephantine-size government of 125 ministers we have been burdened with for four years will be reduced drastically. The savings made from emoluments of the reduced number of ministers and the privileges they enjoy will be channeled towards paying Assembly Members to perform the function of collecting accurate births and deaths information in their various electoral areas.”
“We will build a peaceful, secure, and strong economy that provides sustainable jobs through a transformed, industrialized, and the digital economy.”
