Prof. Opoku-Agyemang Questions NPP’S Integrity Over Promises To Women

 The running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, has questioned the integrity of the ruling New Patriotic Party’s manifesto plan for  women, describing it as an attempt to deceive women. 

“Because we have introduced our plan to establish a Women’s Development Bank to provide  microfinance support for women, they also say they will set up a fund for women,” she said,  referring to the NPP’s manifesto promise to set up a women’s empowerment bank. 

“Ask them what prevents them from doing what they are saying they will do for women  when they come to power? “Have they not been in government all this while? They should  do it now if they can truly do it,” she told market women at the Mallam Market in Accra on  Monday as part of her campaign tour of markets in the capital.

According to Prof Opoku-Agyemang, the NPP and its flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia do  not even understand what they are talking about.” “They are in power but they say they will  do this and that when they come to power. They are surely confused,” she said, triggering  laughter and cheers from the traders. 

She urged the market women, and women in general, to demonstrate to the ruling party that  they are discerning and can determine which party is sincere and has the experience and  track to implement its manifesto promises.

According to the NDC running mate, the proposed Women’s Development Bank is a well thought out initiative which is tied to the operation of the NDC’s 24-Hour Economy policy to  improve the lot of women, especially those operating small scale enterprises. 

“The NDC is a listening party and will roll out well-crafted policies to address the needs of the  citizenry. The NDC and John Mahama represents the hope that Ghanaians are yearning for,  “she said, stressing that “development is our goal.” 

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang promised an all-inclusive development for all Ghanaians without  discrimination in the allocation of development resources, and assured the people of quality  national development. 

In addition, she expressed the NDC’s commitment towards job creation for the youth,  assuring that the provision of development opportunities for the youth would remain central  to governance under the NDC.

From the Mallam market, Prof Opoku-Agyemang visited the Odorkor, Lapaz, Achimota and  Dome markets – all in Accra – where she promised a facelift of the markets to provide comfort  and conducive atmosphere for traders and patrons of the markets. 

According to her, the NDC has the best track record of providing market infrastructure  projects across the country, saying “we deliver when we promise.”
