As Ghanaians are preparing for the forthcoming general elections slated for December, 7th,2016, the various political parties have been moving from one community to another in attempt to convince the electorates to vote for them in order to develop this country.
Almost the
various political parties and their Flagbearers, even though, they have not
officially especially the leading political launched their manifestoes but they
have on the various platforms promised to create jobs should they be given the
nod.
The Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) of Kumah farms Complex, Mr.Martin Kwaku Kumah who is a
multi-purpose farmer and has won numerous awards to his credit, has advocated
that, the various political parties and their flagbearers Manifestoes for the
2016 elections should be Agricultural centered because, Agricultural sector is
the only sector that holds the keys to the solutions of the country’s
unemployment situation.
Speaking
exclusively with the Trust Newspaper during a working visit to his farm, Mr.Kumah
was very confident that, if the government should focus or invest high in the
agricultural sector, many employment avenues or opportunity they promise to
give to the youth shall come to pass because there are many areas in the
sectors that can help address the graduate unemployment in the country.
Kumah Farm
Complex CEO mentioned that, under the sector; agro processing, packaging,
marketing, selling, exporting among others can employ many youth. Adding that,
even before the discovering of oil, it is the agric sector which has held this
country and Ghana’s cocoa for example has been used and continue to be use for
international loans security.
He is therefore
challenging the various political parties especially the leading ones to focus
more on agricultural sector since if they neglect the sector which employs most
Ghanaians the country is doomed and their intention to create jobs for the
youth will be a mirage.
