Government working to create jobs and improve livelihoods – Jinapor
The Minister for Energy and Member of Parliament for Yapei Kusawgu, John Abdulai Jinapor, has appealed to supporters of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to remain patient as the government continues efforts to improve livelihoods and create more economic opportunities across the country.
Speaking during the thank-you tour of NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah in the Savannah Region on Thursday, May 14, Dr Jinapor acknowledged the growing expectations among party supporters for jobs and economic assistance.
However, he cautioned against frustration and acts of violence that could create divisions within the party and weaken its political fortunes.
According to him, the government is still in the early stages of its administration and is steadily implementing interventions to address the developmental needs of the people.
“We are barely two years in office. We know you need jobs, we know you need businesses. I will plead with you to be patient with the government,” he stated.
Dr Jinapor revealed that support initiatives for farmers in the Savannah Region have already commenced, with the government supplying agricultural inputs to help improve productivity.
“This year, I have funded the purchase of 2,000 bags of fertiliser and 2,000 bags of weedicides to help farmers. So please exercise patience for the party,” he added.
The Energy Minister further urged party supporters to avoid actions that could undermine the unity of the NDC, stressing that internal conflicts and violence could negatively affect the party’s future electoral prospects.
“If we are sharing while in office it is just a matter of time, everybody will get some but when we use violence and it lands the party in opposition, it will be our loss,” he warned.
He also assured residents that the government is preparing to undertake additional development projects in the area, including improvements in water supply and road infrastructure, as part of broader efforts to enhance living conditions in the Savannah Region.
