Minister of Youth Development and Empowerment, George Opare Addo, has reaffirmed his commitment to serving all Ghanaians fairly, despite simultaneously holding the position of National Youth Organizer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Face to Face with Umaru Sanda Amadu, Opare Addo addressed concerns about a potential conflict of interest arising from his dual roles.
He emphasized his ability to separate his political and ministerial duties, stating, “When I sit at the party office, I’m the National Youth Organiser. When I sit here, I sit as a minister of state, so I serve every Ghanaian who has needs and wants to be served. Once I get in here, I don’t discriminate.
“Poverty doesn’t know political colour, unemployment doesn’t know NDC or NPP, so my job here is to make the youth job-ready.”
His remarks come amid ongoing debate over whether he can effectively balance both responsibilities.
Opare Addo reiterated his dedication to advancing youth development initiatives nationwide while continuing to support the NDC’s broader objectives.
