Mr Joseph Owusu-Annor, National Organiser of the Young Elephants Movement, youth wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on the government to create more employment avenues to cater for the many unemployed youth in the country.

He noted that there were many unemployed youth roaming about in the streets that needed to be provided with the opportunity to contribute to national development.

Mr Owusu-Annor was speaking to newsmen after members of the movement from Krofofrom, CPC, Osei Kyeretwie, Buokrom and Tafo-Nhyiaeso areas undertook a three-hour cleanup at the market, lorrypark and some streets at New Tafo in Kumasi at the weekend.

The members defied a downpour to dig trenches to control drainage, de-silted gutters and swept the market areas.
