My attention has been drawn to a news item purporting a baseless declaration (subject referred) made by me in an interview of which I have no idea of. In the said news item, the face value implies that I have castigated the Vice President, His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia over mismanaging the NABCO scheme, the reason for which I would never throw my support for him to lead the NPP as a presidential candidate.
I wish to state emphatically that I have never granted any interview to that effect than to think of making such mischievous statement. Clearly, this is just a mere infantile propaganda intended to ruin the image of the Vice President ahead of the flagbearership context.
In retrospect, despite a few challenges the NABCO Scheme was faced with, we cannot state anywhere that it served a zero impact. If for nothing at all, over 40% of trainees got permanent jobs through the initiative. Moreover, those who were left on the CPTP data have been scaled up in experience and requisite employable skill set.
If we should put the analogy in its objective form, I would rather throw my weight behind the Vice President for actualizing the NABCO dream. In the midst of the outstanding issues, we still believe in his leadership to effect appropriate intervention in the course of time.
I would advise the general public to disregard such news headline and stay alert as we advance ahead of the general elections.
Regards,
SIGNED
Dennis Opoku Katakyie,
National President.
