She said a long-term youth employment strategy was necessary to end the persistent agitations by foot-soldiers of the ruling party. Mrs Rawlings told Luv FM’s Elton John Brobby that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), will face serious consequences at the next elections if the agitations and clamour for jobs by the party’s foot-soldiers were not met.
