This follows the completion of their six months intensive skill training.

The kits were financed by the Ghana Enterprise Agency (GEA) in collaboration with the Mastercard foundation.

The donation seeks to help the beneficiaries to establish their own shops to improve their livelihoods as part of government’s initiative to support private sector employment.

The beneficiaries were trained in tailoring, dressmaking, hair dressing, pastries, baking, and many others , were presented certificates, sewing machines, hair dryers, bakery ovens, and other equipment.

Speaking in an interview with Adom News, Mr Divine explained that the initiative is to equipped the youth who are willing to go into apprenticeship to have their own handy work.

He stated the government is committed to support such people and will continue to rollout good policy initiatives to support artisans and other self-employed individuals to reduce poverty level.

Mr. Seth Klutse, who delivered his speech on behalf of the Volta Regional Director of the GEA, Mrs. Kosi Yankey-Ayeh, at the graduation ceremony, said their outfit facilitated the cre­ation of over 109,471 jobs with 67 per cent benefiting women across the country.

He said empower­ing the youth was an ideal way for them to learn a trade and be economically independent on their own.

The beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to Mr Divine, the government and Mastercard foundation fir their sponsorship packages for their training and further establishment of their own shops.

They pledged to rally behind the government by voting massively for Mr. Bosson R.K Divine and Dr Bawumia in the upcoming presidential and Parliamentary elections, for them to continue with the good policies and programmes for others to benefit.

He says Mr. Bosson is not a threat or a match to the NDC in the Ho Central Constituency.

In an interview with Adom News, the NDC communications officer expressed confidence that despite Bosson’s incumbency advantage as the current Municipal Chief Executive, it won’t sway the votes towards the NPP.

Instead, Mr. Agama firmly believes that the NDC’s parliamentary candidate, Edem Kofi Kpotosu, will secure a decisive victory in December.

He urged all eligible Ghanaians aged 18 and above to participate in the forthcoming limited registration, scheduled for next month.

Divine Bosson said his achievements within the last two years as Chief Executive of the Ho Municipal Assembly identify him as the best candidate to represent the constituency in the Legislative and lead its development agenda.

Speaking at the annual Ngoyiyiza of the Chiefs and people of Ziavi Lume in the Ho Municipality of the Volta Region, he urged the electorates to vote based on the competence of candidates and note on party lines.

“2024 should not be about NDC or NPP. It should be about who can deliver, and I know I can deliver as promised. The law mandates that 50% of Ministers should be Parliamentarians.

“So, you must know how to lobby and use the advantage of being a fellow parliamentarian to bring development projects to your constituency,” he said.

He added that he aims to restore the dignity and respect of traditional authorities by implementing a project that would have an economic impact on the chiefs to enhance their livelihoods.

This he, believes, would enable the chiefs to honestly critique the politicians and put them in check to contribute to building the Ghana they want, and earn the respect of their subjects.

He announced that the municipality has received a fair share of road projects under his watch, hoping the road networks would witness significant improvement before the end of his tenure.

Mr Bosson said that the contract for the construction of the Ziavi-Anfoeta road project had been abrogated and would be repackaged and awarded to a competent contractor.

He further indicated that he had hatched an idea of establishing a monkey sanctuary in Ziavi and developing the Adidi Waterfall at Klefe to boost the tourism potential of the municipality.

Increasing access to potable water sits at the core of Mr. Bosson’s development plan, as he said some 18 boreholes have been drilled, with the Ziavi Traditional Area receiving 3 out of them.

He shared the optimism of doing better than he did as MCE when given the node to represent the people of Ho Central in parliament, adding “I will do better just as Dr. Bawumia will perform more than any other President of Ghana ever had”.

Mr. Bosson donated 12 sets of solar streetlights and promised to support the furnishing of the Information Technology Communications Center for the community.

The Dufia of Ziavi-Lime, Togbe Adzoa Kodzo indicated that though he had learned that politicians are cunning, he would give Mr. Bosson the benefit of the doubt and rally his community to support his bid.

He, however, lamented that there is acrimony in the country due to current economic hardship and erratic power supply, and expressed his disappointment in the “self-seeking agenda of politicians”.
