I will use tourism to create
jobs for the youth-Obetsebi Lamptey
Jasikan (V/R), July 20, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Jake Otanka
Obetsebi-Lamptey, aspiring to the presidential candidate of
the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Election 2008, has promised
to use tourism to create jobs for the youth, should he
become President of the country in 2009.
Mr Obetsibi-Lamptey, who was addressing the Buem
Constituency Executives of the Party at Jasikan on his tour
of the Volta Region, said the greatest challenge facing the
country was the aspirations of the youth for decent and
productive lives.
He promised to offer them these by reforming and
restructuring the economy with his private sector
experience.
Mr Obetsebi-Lamptey said tourism creates jobs faster at all
levels and that he would expand the industry to create more
jobs given the country's tremendous competitive advantage in
cultural heritage, historical heritage, eco-tourism and
local cuisines among others.
He said he was the right candidate to retain the NPP in
power in the 2008 elections because he is marketable and
knows how best to market himself and the party.
Mr Obetsebi-Lamptey said when elected, he would make the NPP
a viable Party to be able to take care of its many
supporters.
