The
New
Patriotic
Party’s
(NPP)
parliamentary
candidate
for
Sawla-Tuna-Kalba
Constituency
of
the
Savannah
region,
Ankaara
Sakara,
has
pledged
to
tackle
the
incidence
of
unemployment
among
young
men
and
women
of
the
constituency
through
skills
development
projects.
According
to
him,
the
inability
of
the
current
MP
to
lobby
for
projects
and
policy
interventions
to
support
the
development
of
the
youth
is
contributing
to
the
growing
unemployment
rate
in
the
informal
sector.
In
his
bid
to
change
the
narrative
and
in
line
with
his
vision
for
the
constituency,
the
parliamentary
candidate
has
begun
soliciting
support
from
benevolent
individuals
and
organizations
to
improve
the
livelihood
of
the
constituents.
Speaking
after
receiving
50
sewing
machines
to
improve
skills
development
in
the
constituency
from
Ing
Dr.
Clifford
Braimah,
Mr
Sakara
admonished
the
youth
to
take
interest
in
skills
training.
“Being
able
to
establish
your
own
business
after
undergoing
training
is
what
can
move
this
nation
forward
and
we
must
endeavor
to
ensure
that
their
full
potentials
are
achieved.”
He
touted
the
efforts
of
Ing.
Dr
Clifford
for
his
continuous
support
to
the
development
of
residents
within
all
seven
constituencies
in
the
region.
“We
have
all
felt
your
hard
works
and
so
I
encourage
you
to
do
more
for
us,”
he
said.
Candidates
seeking
election
in
their
constituencies
have
to
undertake
rigorous
campaigns
to
mobilise
voters
in
order
to
build
their
trust
in
democracy
and
the
political
system.
These
candidates’
ability
to
disseminate
campaign
messages
to
the
electorate
in
order
to
obtain
their
support,
educate
them
on
the
electoral
process
and
ensure
their
enthusiasm
and
participation
in
the
election
have
largely
depended
on
availability
of
funds
and
resources.

Limited
Ing.
Dr

has

in
the
Savannah
Region.
The
donation
of
50
sewing
machines
to
the
parliamentary

for
the
Sawla-Tuna-Kalba

is
one
of
many
impactful
acts
by
the
MD
to
empower
young
people
in
the
Savannah
Region.
Presenting
the
items
to
the

admonished
the
beneficiaries
to
take
advantage
of
government’s
flagship
programs
in
skills
training
to
acquire
new
skills
to
fit
for
purpose.
“My
priority
is
to
get
support
for
the
people
and
theirs
should
be
to
take
advantage
of
the
opportunities
available
to
their
benefit
and
so
we
will
continue

support
our

to
break
the
barriers
