Due to a corrupt environment one can make more money with relatively low risk in the public sector, than in setting up and running ones own business (private sector). That is why most people prefer to just tow the line of a political party till they get the chance to come to power and make money (ala Sammy Awuku). Do you then expect more people to set up businesses ? Hell No !

You build training facilities, which the 10M YES fund can do, before urging people to be self employed. Mahama should know that education is different from training. Majority of our current university graduates are educated but not trained and so asking them to be self employed is to tell them to put their capitals down the drain because they lack the critical skills to be self employed.
