Speaking to the media, Mr John Kuma said: “we have already won the elections and what we ought to do is to make sure our youth get employment. We don’t have to wait till election time before we unite our people. We have to do it now”.
“We are bringing them together to establish cooperatives or empower them financially to enable them set up their own businesses”.
He also emphasized that, he as the leader of the group will continue to unite youth of the party to be able to win the 2020 general elections.
He later donated GHC 500 to the newly born Young Patriots to support them in their activities promising that as CEO of NEIP, he will make sure every youth of the country is empowered without any form of discrimination.
According to him, government has released $10 million to National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Plan (NEIP) for this purpose.
