Ghana’s Unemployment Woes Linked to Partisan Politics
A Labour Expert, Austin Gamey, says excessive partisanship is contributing to Ghana’s unemployment situation.
This, he says, calls for an all-inclusive national dialogue to end the phenomenon.
Mr. Gamey advocated some interventions which he said, all political leaders regardless of their affiliation must be committed to.
” We need to operate within 24 hours whether it is John Mahama or Bawumia. Whoever wins the elections, by force and by ever should operate a 24-hour economy. That is the only means that people can secure decent jobs.
This business of deliberate partisan where it is NDC, NPP, clearly what it means is that we’ll go further backwardness, and unemployment situation will become so bad that there will be upheaval in this nation,”
Mr. Gamey noted as worrying about the increase in skill gaps which confront the labour sector.
He said that ending the menace would only acquire more patriotic leadership.
“People don’t have the skill, the thinking capacity is very low. We really need to sit up as a nation and let’s stop the partisan parochial interest, and be interested in the development of Ghana as a nation because we are 67 years old and 67 years behind,”
And so anybody who is interested in the development and the growth of this nation… If we don’t have leaders in the quality understanding and the love of this nation at heart to enable us all to seek that and stop all the partisan issues,”
