President Akufo-Addo since assuming the reigns of power on
January 7th 2017
has created 350,000 jobs and counting, Deputy Minister of Information, Pius
Enam Hadzide has claimed.
Speaking
in an interview transcribed by MyNewsGh.com, Mr. Hadzide said Akufo-Addo has
done a yeoman’s job so far in as much as jobs are concern.
Highlighting
the various intervention interventions of the Akufo-Addo government including
the recent 307 ambulances, he added that “Akufo-Addo has so far created over
350,000 jobs across this country” chiding the opposition NDC for having no alternatives.
He accused the NDC of being naysayers and seeking to undermine
government. He accused Mahama of importing 207 buses and labelled them
ambulances.
Pius
Hadzide’s job figures run parallel to other job numbers government officials
throw around.
1,096,404 jobs
In 2018, the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration
claimed it created 1,096,404 jobs under the Ministry of Employment.
Mr
Ignatius Baffour Awuah, the sector Minister at the launch of the Nation
Builders Corps (NABCO) in Kumasi revealed that the current New Patriotic Party
(NPP) administration has been able to create 1,096,404 jobs and later supplied
some data to support his claims which the opposition National Democratic
Congress (NDC) dismissed as fabrication.
“Where
are the jobs? In which areas are these jobs? He must come clear. We will demand
of him to come and tell us in Parliament where those jobs are. If you say
within 15 months, nearly two million jobs have been created and you don’t tell
us which sectors of the economy, then it leaves a lot to be desired,” the
Member of Parliament for Keta, Richard Quashigah remarked.
“You
cannot throw out figures without justifying them. The Employment Minister must
tell us, in clear terms, which areas these jobs have been created, which are
the numbers for the public and which are the numbers for the private, which
areas of the private sector is he making reference to because as far as I know,
the One District-One Factory has not taken off…” Quashigah added.
