YEA EMPLOYEES TO RCEIVE ARREAARS THIS MONTH

-

Employees under the Youth Employment Agency, YEA, are to receive their six month Allowance in full by the end of this month. 

Already, government advanced to them three months Allowance at their resumption of duties to ease the economic difficulties that new employees usually face upon their employment. 

The Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Andy Osei Okrah, made this known in Kumasi at the first ever Regional YEA Beneficiaries Durbar. 

The durbar, one of the planned regional events for beneficiaries of the YEA nationwide to commemorate 10 years of the creation of the Agency, was on the theme: “Empowering the Youth through Job Creation”.   

Mr. Okrah blamed the delay in the monthly payment of the YEA employees’ Allowances on certain administrative processes as well as challenges mainly related to hooking them to the E-Zwich electronic payment module which is time-consuming. 

The Deputy Regional Minister assured that the processes have been almost completed for the employees to be paid and therefore urged them to remain committed to their work. 

Mr. Okrah asked them to bring to bear on their work such positive virtues as diligence and hard work while adding value to themselves to enhance their employability so as to improve their chances of absorption into the public service on completion of their two-year internship. 

The Human Resource Manager of the YEA, Selasie Atikpovi, said plans are being made to expand the number of modules of the programme which will also lead to the increase in the number of people to be engaged. 

Already, YEA is in the process of employing about 100 thousand unemployed youth under the various modules. 

Mr. Atikpovi asked the beneficiaries to be ready to learn on the job through respect for their experienced bosses and also in humility. 

The Ashanti Regional Director of the YEA, Robert Mensah, disclosed that about eight thousand youth have so far being engaged under the various modules.

 These include Arabic Teachers, Community Police Assistants, Prison Assistants, Fire Service Assistants, Community Health, Environmental Protection and Environmental Health.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
