Independent Peoples Party will 2012 elections hands down

Kofi Akpaloo the Independent Peoples Party Leader disclosed yesterday that
millions of educated youth are unemployed for various reasons in the country. We
cannot create jobs for all of them both in the public and private sectors. We
cannot also leave them to fend for themselves as it may create socio-political
tensions.
Therefore, the Independent Peoples Party - IPP will ask all the banks to lend
loans to unemployed educated youths to start their own self-employment
activities such as poultry, fishery, dairy, commercial animal husbandry,
horticulture, floriculture etc in rural areas, and computer servicecentres,
internet services, language and computer trainingcentresand a host of modern
services which are in demand in urban areas.

The IPP government will stand guarantee for loans up to GHc25, 000. Appropriate
procedures will be formulated to make them repay the loans throughinstalments.
This scheme will encourage enterprising, educated youth to develop
self-confidence in generating income for themselves. The IPP government will
also help them in marketing their products by organizing appropriate marketing
facilities.

The greatest gift a government can give its citizens is an opportunity that will
enable them to survive, to grow, and to thrive. Such gift may be good education,
or a job or a loan to start a business.
Therefore, the Independent Peoples Party - IPP will help the unemployed educated
youth to get bank loans to start their own businesses.
