The Member of Parliament for Wa Central, Rasheed Pelpuo is taunting government for “postponing” its responsibility to provide permanent jobs to the youth.
The former Minister of State in charge of Public Private Partnership (PPP) told 3FM’s Sunrise Wednesday that the Nation Builders Corp (NABCO) is akin to postponing the unemployment situation in the country.
Whilst government is touting the programme as a good move to provide skills to unemployed graduates, Rasheed Pelpuo claims NABCO is not sustainable and would not expose the youth to the kind of experience they would require for establishing themselves in a permanent institution.
“It is not sustainable and it is not the way to go,” he stated.
He added, “I cannot completely say this is not a good idea but government must admit that it is a failed attempt to get young people employed”.
Rasheed Pelpuo opined that one of the greatest initiative that any government can embark on is to stimulate the private sector in order for the unemployed to get jobs and create opportunities for others to work with them.
In that sense, there is independence in how people search for jobs and how people get engaged in jobs which would be of essence to the economy, he observed.
“The NPP manifesto made a promise to create value from whatever we have in this country and private sector would be the way forward. Other businesses can also come and invest and jobs would be available for the young persons. We are not told that they will take money from the consolidated fund, collect a group of young people and start paying them stipends,” he said.
The MP for Wa Central emphasized that it is about time young people made their voices heard. “The youth should not agree to be temporarily engaged. The youth must insist in being there permanently so that whatever skill they acquire would be put to use in a sustainable manner.”.

When this opposition MP's talk as if their heads were not theirs when they were in power it becomes sickening. Private sector stimulation my foot. How much is Zoomlion taking from government and how much is Zoomlion giving the cleaners and sweepers. Besides all the equipment they use are also charged to government. Zoomlion takes like 800 cedis and pays 250 to workers. is that what you are fighting for so that you politicians can have your kickbacks.
During your time, you asked the youth to go and cut grass or pick stones and place by the roadside for people to buy. That was your idea of job creation. Now that you are in opposition, you can only criticize, but when you had the power to do something, you were handicapped. Only stone age ideas. An intervention like NABCo is way above your infantile brains
This is better than the embargo you placed on public sector employment for many years!! Greedy northern politicians indeed!!!
