MRS AKUFFO-ADDO ADMITS SHE ADMIRE NANA KONADU RAWLINGS

Rebecca Akufo-Addo, wife of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party says though she is not a supporter of the 31st December, she admire and respect the boldness and perseverance of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings. She has observed that the nation’s effort to encourage more women into active politics stands defeated by the current trend of insults in the nation’s political discourse. Rebecca Akufo-Addo was addressing students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology on “The Role of the Modern Woman in Politics”. She stated that less women will participate in politics if politicians continuous to trade insults at each other. Mrs Akufo-Addo bemoaned the fast decline in the number of women representation in Parliament, adding that it does not speak well of a nation that claims to be advocating women empowerment. Mrs Akufo-Addo called for a deliberate plan for political grooming of more women for political positions.
