Minister of Communication and Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has revealed that running mate of the National Democratic Congress, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang does not have interest in women empowerment.
According to her, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang took deliberate actions that harmed the purchasing power of women.
Ursula Owusu added that Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang cancelled the allowance of teacher trainees and some of them had to drop out of their respective programs.
In an interview on Citi news, MP for Ablekuma West indicated that there were more female teacher trainees than men at the time but Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang policies allowed teachers to be paid three months’ salaries for three years work and that affected the majority of women teachers just because she does not believe in the gender agenda.
Ursula Owusu stated Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang does not have a good track record when it comes to the advancement of women’s rights, women’s protection, and gender equality.
