Choicenewsonline Your Choice Is Here
Respectfully, I would like to express concern as a Woman and an Advocate for women regarding the Standing and Adhoc committee released in the Press by the General Secretary, Lawyer Justin Kodua Frimpong.
Last week I saw in the press names of persons to work for the various Standing and Adhoc committees in the NPP.
With all due respect, the names published were Gender Discriminatory against women.
The appointments did not represent the women population in the party.
The sixty-six (66) total members nominated for the respective six committees only sixteen (16) were women. Representing 24 in percentage such statistics are below par, distressing, and do not show the significance efforts women in NPP have demonstrated since the formation of this great party.
Women in Ghana, Women in Politics, especially the Women in NPP need equal representation now!
Mr Chairman, supporting more women into decision-making committees like such in the party would help the party to reverse the low levels of women’s representation and increase their participation in active politics.
In the NPP now has more educated, skilled, usable women who are equally proficient to give positive results as their male counterparts.
In a democracy, every part of the population must be equally be represented. Having both women and men involved in decision making broadens the standpoints, increases creativity and innovation, diversifies the pool of talents, competencies and improves the process of decision-making.
To the National Officer and the National Council please involve more women in the boardroom!
Let’s build the NPP and Ghana with women NOW!
