I\u2019ve told you time and time again that those who come to foment trouble are imported from outside to come and cause trouble and then leave. Largely, we have seen NPP orchestrating such incidents, but we will not allow them; it will not happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also promised to address the issue of youth unemployment in the area when voted into power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe we need to revamp the employment prospects for our people. We need to ensure that our people are more employed. Many people who cannot secure a job due to lack of education need to be trained sufficiently to become employable, so we can help them find a job. Now, essentially, we have people who want to learn a trade due to their lack of educational capacity. They want to learn the trade, and we have to make sure we take them and train them. The most important thing is to empower them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter!\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1f310.svg.svg+xml\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf10\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/1f4f0.svg.svg+xml\" alt=\"\ud83d\udcf0\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\"\/>\u00a0#StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A parliamentary candidate hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Odododiodioo constituency, Nii Kotey Ashie, has blamed the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the electoral violence often recorded in the area.
