Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang criticizes NPP for allegedly copying Women’s Dev’t Bank policy
Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, running mate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of copying the NDC’s proposal to establish a Women’s Development Bank.
This comes after the NPP, in its 2024 manifesto, announced plans to create a Women’s Trade Empowerment Fund to support women-owned businesses if they win the December 7 elections.
During her visit to Mallam Market in Accra, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang questioned the NPP’s commitment to the initiative, asking why they had not already implemented such a program while in office. She emphasized that the NDC was the first to propose the idea of a Women’s Development Bank and urged voters to remain vigilant and informed as they prepare to vote.
Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang stressed that the upcoming election should be focused on the state of the economy and which candidate is best equipped to lead the country’s development. She urged voters to make decisions based on progress and economic growth rather than party loyalty.
“Be wary of those in the NPP who claim they plan to initiate a fund. We were the ones who introduced the initiative in the first place. If they truly intend to follow through, why haven’t they done so yet? No one is preventing them from taking action.
“We pioneered the Women’s Development Bank initiative. Let’s be vigilant and make informed decisions at the polls.”
“This year’s election isn’t about party loyalty; it’s about the state of our economy. Let’s vote for the candidate who will help drive progress and development in our country.”
