Flagbearer of Independent People's Party in the 2012 general elections, Mr. Kofi Akpaloo has expressed worry at the increase in unemployment especially among the youth in the country over the years. He has however pledged to assist local industries to help them expand their operations in order to employ more people. According to him it is only when those industries are supported that will enable them to employ more people to work with and due to that, his government will do its best to assist them either with loans or guarantee for them to acquire equipments.
