The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party, Salam Mustapha, has highlighted the key differences between John Dramani Mahama and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia\u2019s policies on poultry farming.<\/p>\n The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, accused Dr. Bawumia, the flagbearer of the NPP, of stealing his agricultural policy on poultry farming.<\/p>\n Speaking on Starr Today with Tutuwa Danso, Salam Mustapha said Mahama is patronizing young people with \u2018nkoko nkitinkiti\u2019 rather than creating real job opportunities for youth employment in the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n \u201cThe issue of unemployment goes beyond patronage. You cannot patronize people. Look, I see desperate young people, healthy, able-bodied, young men and women all the time wanting survival and looking for jobs. And the last thing we in the political space should do is to patronize the matter. Because it\u2019s a serious existential matter. Okay. That is why I place a lot of premium on it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, it is not telling people that, you get a small hen coop, we will give you some small number of chickens for you to go and rear. When they lay eggs, you sell, and when you finish selling the eggs, you sell the chickens themselves, and now you\u2019re back to square one. No,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n He further stated that Bawumia\u2019s policy on poultry farming focuses on developing large-scale and technology-based farming businesses that can offer young people long-term employment and skills development.<\/p>\n \u201cPoultry farming is quite lucrative. So, in wanting to do commercial poultry farming, you have to get a lot of resources and support. It\u2019s not, you know, \u2018Nkoko nkiti nkiti\u2019 at all, and that is the difference between us and him, which we are talking of a mechanized poultry farming system.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch the latest edition of BizHeadlines below:<\/b><\/p>\n![\"NPP](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/904\/90445215.295.jpg\" "\\"NPP")
