NDC lacks ideas to create jobs – Nana Konadu Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings
has said the governing National Democratic
Congress (NDC) lacks the requisite ideas to create
jobs needed by Ghanaian youth.
According to Mrs. Rawlings, the economy is rather
rolling back with businesses relocating out of the
country as many more collapse due to high cost of
doing business.
She said she had received several calls from
business owners in the country asking her to come
to their rescue.
Her assertion contradicts President Mahama’s
recent claim that the economy has made a
turnaround and attracting new businesses into the
country.
Mrs. Rawlings was speaking on TV3’s New Day.
We can’t leave EC alone
Nana Konadu also questioned the rationale behind
the Electoral Commission’s (EC) decision to
unveil a new logo especially at a period when it
is expected to focus on its core mandate of
delivering a free and credible elections.
According to Mrs. Rawlings, the Chairperson of the
Commission, Charlotte Osei got it wrong by
focusing on non-essential things.
“The other day I saw somewhere ‘leave her
alone’. Nobody can tell us to leave the EC
alone, nobody because she is working for us. It
is our right,” she stressed.
The Chairperson of the EC, Mrs. Charlotte Osei
recently launched a five-year strategic plan and a
new logo for the commission ahead of the general
elections.
The decision to replace the Commission’s old
logo has attracted harsh criticism from many
Ghanaians.
Mrs. Rawlings further accused the Chairperson of
the EC of not paying attention to divergent
views.
“I have queen mothers calling me that Nana,
even the people coming to register us do not speak
our language. Don’t throw things into
people’s face as if they are speaking
gibberish,” she said.
She advised the Chairperson to listen to diverse
opinions since the election is about Ghanaians and
not her personal interests.
