Managers of the National Youth Employment Programme say the hairdressing module for instance has no payroll implications.

NYEP has enough money to train 2,000 kayayei
Managers of the National Youth Employment
Programme (NYEP) have dispelled doubts about its
latest plan to train two thousand head porters and
truck pushers in employable skills.

Vice President John Mahama last week claimed the
hawkers would be taken off the streets and trained
in various vocational skills including dressmaking
and hair dressing.

The NYEP has been struggling to pay allowances,
but its Coordinator, Abuga Pele says the
initiative should not suffer any such hiccups now
that it has its share of the talk-time-tax.

In any case, he explained, the hairdressing module
for instance has no payroll implications since
training beneficiaries will be on their own, aided
with tools.

Mr Pele said with the approval of 60 percent
increase in talk-time-tax allocation to the NYEP,
“we are mopping up all the arrears for
beneficiaries.”
