The Parliamentary Candidate for Kwesimintsim Constituency in the Western Region says his tenure as law maker for the people will see massive transformation in job creation to the youth of Kwesimintsim.

Dr Prince Armah says his agenda for job creation, will be hinged on, providing skills training in artisanal trades through an accredited institution.

Speaking at the 14th Graduation Ceremony of the Ghana National Tailors and Dressmakers Association (GNTDA) in Kwesimintsim, the Acting Director General of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) says there shall be an apprenticeship programme which will be partnered by these accredited institutions and masters in trades such as dressmaking.

To underline his commitment towards assisting the youth with resources and promoting skills training, Dr Armah presented 40 electric sewing machines to the graduands to enable them start their business after acquiring the skills in dress making.

A champion of the Free SHS and TVET education, Dr Armah said his outfit will ensure that the potential of all the youth in the constituency will be harnessed.

“Those who are gifted in grammar education will be supported through the Free SHS and other interventions. Those with technical and vocational skills will also be supported so at the end everyone will contribute the best of potentials towards the development of the constituency.

“I look forward to working with all stakeholders including the leadership of the GNTDA in Kwesimintsim to make it a success,” he stated.

Dr Prince Armah stated these policies can only be executed within the framework of a viable, robust economy which can only be managed by the NPP led by president Nana Akufo-Addo.

He therefore charged the constituents to vote massively for the president and for him as well in order for the dreams of the constituents to be realized as well.

Having toppled the incumbent MP in the party’s primary Dr Prince Armah will face stiff opposition from the NDC candidate, Philip Fiifi Buckman in the December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections
