I am for the artisans, and they have my support – Mr. Percy Dennis Quaicoe
 
Mr. Percy Dennis Quaicoe, the aspiring New Patriotic Party Parliamentary Candidate for KEEA, last Thursday on the 18th of October, 2024, supported the Business In A Box (BizBox) project to distribute start-up kits for almost 300 apprentices.
 
The distribution, which falls under the Ghana Enterprises Agency, with the support of Mr. Percyval Quaicoe, gave out these items after successfully completing the Apprenticeship To Entrepreneurship program, a vital component of the Business In A Box project, which is a collaborative initiative between the Ghana Enterprise Agency and the Mastercard Foundation.
 
Speaking to the media, the aspiring NPP parliamentary candidate made it known that he is for the artisans and opened his door to creating more opportunities to make sure they are fully equipped to make a living.
 
I made a promise to the people of KEEA that I would create opportunities for the youth. I am for the youth, and to fulfill such promises, this is the beginning. Today, we are giving them start-up kits to start the journey. This is my vision for KEEA.”
