In a revealing interview on Kesmite Radio in Mankessim on the 9th of October, 2024, Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD), the running mate of Mr.
Alan Kyerematen, presidential candidate of the Afrafranto Movement, pledged a transformational focus on youth empowerment through heavy investment in sports and creative arts infrastructure.
KOD stressed that the youth hold untapped potential in these industries, which, if harnessed, could significantly reduce the alarming rate of youth unemployment in the country. "We have seen how sports and creative arts have transformed the lives of many young people globally; it's time Ghana takes this seriously," he emphasized.
KOD lamented that many young men and women are gifted with remarkable talents, but their families often lack the financial resources to help them fully develop those skills.
