Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Founder of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, has promised to create over one million jobs through food processing when voted into power.<\/b><\/p>\n

He said, these jobs will improve the salaries and living standards of the beneficiary workers.<\/p>\n

The founder of the New Force Movement said this during a meeting with leaders of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Accra on May 23.<\/p>\n

Nana Kwame Bediako engaged the leadership of the TUC to introduce policies he will implement when he wins power on December 7, 2024.<\/p>\n

He identified job creation in the areas of agriculture and other sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we start processing our foods we can have seven different jobs in one seed. Currently, we are the second largest producer of cocoa what do you we see from cocoa now, the chocolate industry is over $200 billion, but we are not getting it in this country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He emphasised the availability of natural resources to boost Ghana\u2019s economy. Other areas of interest, according to him, are health care and education.<\/p>\n

Secretary General of TUC, Dr. Anthony Yaw Baah lauded the commitment of the founder of the New Force Movement for his vision and policy for the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe talked about sending the sea to Kumasi, we laughed but later when he came to my office, he explained to me that he will rather dredge the sea to Kumasi,\u201d Dr Baah cited.<\/p>\n

Nana Bediako has been engaging stakeholders to enlist their support in the upcoming election.<\/p>\n

On May 22, he promised to remove excessive taxes suffocating businesses if elected president in the December 7 elections.<\/p>\n

He made the pledge during a meeting with members of the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) in Accra to understand firsthand the current issues confronting them and to develop avenues they can work together to improve the situation if he becomes president.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t stand here and say that I\u2019ll create free taxes once you start trading, but definitely I\u2019ll look into it and make it reasonable overnight. Because there\u2019s no point if that\u2019s the only job we have as part of the nation, thus, importing from other countries then at the end of the day, we spend 60 or 70% and by the time we sell, the 30% profit we\u2019re supposed to make is gone either by interest from what we borrowed or by just living the hard life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I would definitely revise the taxes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
