Honorable Rashid Pelpuo, a Ghanaian politician and Member of Parliament for Wa Central constituency, has addressed a controversial statement he allegedly made in 2016. Apexnewsgh reports
It’s reported that Pelpuo had suggested that unemployed youth could gather stones and sell them at construction sites or cut grasses where animals are bred to sell.
Pelpuo emphasized that his statement was misinterpreted and that he was trying to encourage young people to be entrepreneurial and identify opportunities to make a living. He shared examples of two unemployed individuals who approached him for advice and went on to start successful businesses selling food and furniture.
As a seasoned politician, Pelpuo has held various positions, including Minister of State at the Office of the President and Minister for Youth and Sports.
He has been a strong advocate for youth development and employment, and his statement was likely intended to promote self-empowerment and resourcefulness among young people.
