The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary candidate for Oforikrom Constituency, Michael Kwasi Aidoo, has pledged to adopt initiatives that will impact positively on the lives of constituents.

According to him, the target is to empower the youth in the constituency since they play a critical role in national development.

Speaking at Akoma FM’s “Me potemu Keteke” at Tech Junction Trotro Station in the Oforikrom Constituency, Mr Aidoo, pledged to empower his constituents and also, bring Development to communities in the Oforikrom Constituency.

He said developmental agenda within his first four years will focus on education, health, infrastructure, and youth empowerment.

Mr Aidoo noted that there will be constant engagement with stakeholders in the various sectors to ensure constituents have a fair share of the national cake. He reiterated his commitment to bring Development to the communities.

“Many youth in the constituency have benefited from my support to train them to get employable skills. I have supplied sewing machines to the home economics department of some Senior High Schools in the constituency as well as computers for practical works. I have also presented start up kits to those who have gone through some training and finding it difficult to start their business.

“It is very important, especially looking at the state of our country now. We have a lot of young people who are interested in getting jobs. We have a lot of young people who have learnt a lot of handy skills, and they need star-up kits to start with.

And so, as a Parliamentary candidate I also deem it fit to also support my constituents, especially young people who have been able to establish themselves and those who have also been able to learn some handy skills to also have a start-up kit to start something. I believe that is the best alternative to give to anyone. It wouldn’t be right for me to be walking about distributing monies to people. I believe that is not what young people want,” he said.

Mr Aidoo indicated that he acknowledged the frustration most young people go through, especially when they go through skills training and not able to get support to start-up a business.
