The flagbearer of the All Peoples’ Congress (APC) Hassan Ayariga says there are more armed robbers in government agencies than the smaller ones who steal minor things.
Speaking on TV3, Hassan Ayariga indicated that the fight against armed robbers should be tackled from the root.
“The first thing is to find out what the cause of problem is. You don’t tackle from the top. If you tackle from the top, you’d kill everybody because we have more armed robbers in the system than those out there.
“We have more armed robbers in government institutions than the smaller ones you see robbing and taking the minor things. So what we need to do is to first create jobs so that we can link unemployment to job creation.”
Mr. Ayariga, who is making his second attempt to become President of Ghana, emphatically stated that job creation and youth empowerment was one key way of fighting corruption.
He said “we have not drawn any policy to absorb those [youth]. The armed robbers are your brothers, your fathers and your uncles. We will design special initiatives to make sure that Ghana’s young men and women work effectively.”
The various flagbearers of the various political parties would take their turn on the programme, THE PLATFORM every Saturday at 4pm on TV3.
