The Presidential Candidate of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Mr. Kofi Akpaloo, has said that he will change the fortunes of the country by helping Ghanaians to create and enjoy wealth when he is voted into power.
He has, therefore, appealed to all those who were eligible to exercise their franchise on that day to massively vote for him to change Ghana for the better.
He told newsmen that he was convinced that he was the one chosen to rescue Ghanaians from the broken promises of both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr. Akpaloo said he was seeking the mandate to be President to unlock the potential of people in the country, which had been locked by previous governments, adding that he would do that through education and technology.
Policies
Highlighting his core policies when he is voted into power, Mr. Akpaloo pointed out that he would provide funding through subsidies to support commercial rice and poultry production nationwide to discourage the importation of such products, adding, “this will encourage farmers to produce more of what we eat here in Ghana and create more jobs.
“We are hoping to build the world’s largest chocolate manufacturing company in Ghana. We want to process all the cocoa products here and export them,” he added.
For the unemployed youth, he said he would give them loans up to Gh¢250,000 to open their own businesses.
“We want to set up a $10 billion job fund to give loans to young people and fresh graduates who want to go into their own businesses. We are hoping to create and build one million new entrepreneurs in our first term,” he noted.
Mr. Akpaloo acknowledged that the Free SHS Policy was very good but said he would also make university education free so that majority of the population would be educated to grow the economy of the country, adding that “this way, you will be building skilled level workers who will add value to the economy by paying taxes”.
