National Organiser of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Joshua Hamidu Akamba has stated that taking a cue from what the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has done, the next NDC government in 2021 shall not insist on employing only NDC members with the right qualifications and certification, urging NDC members to slap any NDC official who will demand certificates before giving them jobs in the next NDC government.
Captain (rtd) Akamba made this known in his address to party supporters in Brekumanso in the Eastern Region after an NDC health walk, maintaining that party footsoldiers of the NPP have been employed sensitive positions even though they lack the requisite certificates and qualifications.
“If the NDC wins the 2020 elections, Insha Allah, and you approach any NDC functionary for a job and he or she demands that you provide certificates before your employment, slap him or her, ” he told the enthusiastic supporters in Twi.
Captain(rtd) reminded them of the good works by former President John Dramani Mahama that have been cut short by the current NPP administration such as the building of educational facilities and health facilities.
In July 2017, Controversial lawmaker for Assin Central Constituency, Kennedy Agyapong was worried that officials in the party demanded for certificates from hardworking party youth as a prerequisite for employment into the various sectors.
“Those days when they were campaigning and you were working for the party, did they ask you for certificates? Today after the election, when you go for a job they will be demanding for your certificate. So do they want to tell me that when you want to work at Zoomlion you must present a certificate? “They are always asking for certificates before they give the youth employment. At the airport, Oti Bless of the NDC has a company that is cleaning the place, so do you need certificates to be cleaners? There are some jobs you don’t need certificates so why should you ask for certificates when you didn’t do same when they were working to bring the party to power”, he asked.
He said there are certain jobs members of the NPP can also do without necessarily producing certificates because they are Ghanaians.
“I am speaking now because I promised the youth of this country jobs. Today NDC people are doing the work more than our party members. We did a lot of work under the erstwhile Kufuor administration but because of big grammar and rule of law we went into opposition. Since the party came to power but they are still asking for certificates before they employ the youth. “He empathized.
