CPP will ensure zero percent unemployment rate - Maclean

Mr. Ato Maclean, Central Regional Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) has said the party would work harder to achieve zero percent unemployment rate by creating more job opportunities for Ghanaians.

He said a CPP government will also expand and diversify the economy, building on the Nkrumahist socialist ideas to develop the country, whilst improving among others, healthcare and education.

Mr. Maclean made the promise at the Party’s primaries at Abura Batanyaa where Mr. Samuel Odum, a lawyer, contested unopposed and was elected by popular acclamation as the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese (AAK) Parliamentary candidate for the December polls.

Mr. Maclean accused other political parties of rebranding some policies of the CPP such as free education and healthcare, adding that efforts by some individuals to destroy the Party had failed.

The Party was still alive, he said, and urged Ghanaians to vote the CPP in this election for it to continue where its predecessors left off.

Mr. Odum expressed gratitude to the delegates saying he had plans of boosting fish and poultry farming in the Constituency to enable both farmers and fishermen in the area to have supplementary livelihood during their lean seasons.

He said he would also set up technical institutions within the district where the youth will acquire vocational and technical training for them to be self-employed.

He urged party members to register and be faithful card bearing members of the party instead of chasing every other party for monetary gains.
