Source: Joy Online / 10.12.2012

The presidential candidate of the PNC, Hassan Ayariga has called on president-elect John Mahama to preside over an all-inclusive government that collaborates with people regardless of their political affiliations or ethnic backgrounds

Speaking on Joy News, Monday, Mr Ayariga said Ghanaians have been building a strong, united nation, he explained, and it is through cooperation that they will go further.

Asked if he would join Mahama’s team, he reported that he is always willing to serve Ghana. More importantly, Ayariga said, the president should focus on hiring skilled Ghanaians like those with technical backgrounds, urging him to use the tools at hand to build the nation.

He praised and congratulated the Ghanaian people for keeping the peace during the election and predicted that countries around the world will also recognize Ghana for this accomplishment.

He also used the opportunity to congratulate President Mahama for winning the presidential elections.

I was unfairly treated at the IEA debate - Ayariga


Source: Radio XYZ Online / 03.11.2012


Flag Bearer of the People’s National Convention Hassan Ayariga has stated that he was treated unfairly in Tuesday’s presidential debate held in the Northern regional capital of Tamale.
According to him, his co-debators copiously referred to their party manifestos and other documents which he alleged they smuggled into the debate hall contrary to the rules of the organizer.

The PNC flag bearer has therefore raised a serious protest about the conduct of the debate.

He said he is nonetheless proud of himself for putting up what he saw as a spirited performance against all odds.
Hassan Ayariga raised the objections when he called on the Chief of Tamale Dekpema Naa Alhassan Mahama Dawuni as part of his campaign tour of the Northern Region.

“Even though I was not treated fairly, I made it by his grace. I am saying this because we were not supposed without notes, without manifestos and books.

“But all the candidates that got in were holding books and manifestos and they were reading out of it to answer the questions, I was a single headed young man who did not have any note”.

For his part, Tamale Chief Naa Alhassan Dawuni praised Mr. Ayraiga for expressly tackling the questions thrown at him.
Mr. Ayariga also called on the lamashegu Naa Alhaji Ziblim to ask for his blessing.

Ghana's education system is flawed -Ayariga

Source: GNA / 31.10.2012

Mr. Hassan Ayariga, the presidential candidate of the Peoples National Convention (PNC), has said the country’s educational system was flawed and tertiary institutions and universities were producing “avoidable graduates instead of absorbable candidates.”

He said a PNC government would change the education curriculum by introducing and increasing technical and skills acquisition that would make graduates employable who will generate jobs and employ other people to reduce unemployment.

Mr. Ayariga was taking part in a debate organized for by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) for presidential candidates of political parties that have representation in parliament.

President John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Abu Sakara of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) took part in the debate.

He said small and medium scale enterprises would be given a major boost. Mr. Ayariga said his administration would build more roads, silos to store food to reduce post harvest losses and guaranteed prices would be given to farmers for their produce.

He said the country needed quality education and not free education because the funding of a free education would not be easy.

On health, Mr. Ayariga promised to use accessibility health care methods with more advocacies on use of family planning methods, training of more doctors and other health professionals to man the health institutions and increasing the quality of sanitation.

He said private/public health care was the core means of building the nation and his administration would build quality healthcare and make ambulances available in all corners of the country.

Mr. Ayariga said more investments had to be made in the private/public sector and in education to make graduates more employable.

PNC will bring back 'operation feed yourself' - Hassan Ayariga

Source: GNA

The Flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Mr. Hassan Ayariga has promised to reintroduce the ‘operation feed yourself’ policy when given the nod to rule the country.

He said leadership was about making good use of the few resources available to the people, stressing that the country was endowed with various natural resources which must be used to the advantage of the people.

Mr. Ayariga was responding to questions from the maiden edition of the 2012 Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) debate taking place in Tamale on Tuesday where the NDC, the NPP, the CPP and the PNC were participating.

The debate is the fourth in a series of debates for presidential candidates with representation in parliament since 2000 and sponsored by STAR-Ghana.

Mr. Ayariga said his government will stop smuggling of cocoa to neighboring countries and making use of fallow lands to engage the youth to produce over two million tons of cocoa saying “we believe in operation feed yourself and we know that is the best way to make the nation progress”.

He said the PNC leadership would take advantage of the available resources and give the youth the enabling environment to create opportunities to increase the food security trough transformation in the agricultural sector.

The Presidential hopeful who is 40 years old and born in Bawku said his government will make good use of the available water resources and make the ordinary people benefit from the sharing of the national cake.

He advocated for the separation of political power from the economic power; where economies will not be afraid to provide professional unbiased advise to the government noting that the PNC government will not abandon projects undertaken by previous governments but will revamp and develop them.

Mr. Ayariga observed that small scale businesses and medium ones must be assisted to expand and employ more individuals to reduce the unemployment rate in the country adding that “tax network must be broadened to include both internal and external taxes with no tax holidays”.
