The Convention People’s Party (CPP) on Sunday commended the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC) and all allied workers’ groups for sustaining Ghana through their hard work.
This is contained in a statement signed by Chairman of the CPP, Mr Ladi Nylander, copied GNA, on Sunday in Accra.
It said: “As we celebrate this all important day, the CPP is however concerned that the many unemployed in Ghana, especially the youth, would be left out not because they desire not to, or are
unwilling, lazy and do not want to work but mainly due to lack of employment opportunities.
“The CPP therefore wish remind Government and Employers to take deliberate and urgent steps, through the use of state economic power and the delivery of reliable utility and public services, to create and maintain a conducive entrepreneurial environment that will make industrialisation thrive in Ghana again,” the party stated in a statement to the Ghana News Agency in Accra.
The statement said as a developing country, guided by the CPP ideology of self determination, social justice and Pan Africanism, the party maintain that the state must lead the process of
re-industrialisation for the private sector to follow.
It said the CPP, therefore, dedicated this year’s May Day celebration to the hundreds of thousands of unemployed men and women, especially the youth in Ghana and wished all Ghanaian workers a very happy May Day!
