Quotes

[edit]
  • All well-meaning Ghanaians to support the cause, to stand firm and join in the struggle to increase women’s participation in decision making.
  • What cost us dearly is the affirmative action policy that became controversial. In my case for instance, my opponent told the delegates that I was the originator of the affirmative action policy and also the one who signed it because I am the NPP Women Caucus leader so when that law is made to stand, the Abirem seat will be a no go area for any man. Most of the delegates are men and such pronouncement scared them. So, that is one of the major reasons why I lost the primaries.
  • I am not ready to discuss what accounted for my loss...I cannot say I lost because the winner doled out money to delegates to vote for him.
  • Decisions on our economy, environment and society cannot only be based simply on current or recent data, temporal analysis is required to identify trends, evaluate impacts and make informed decisions for democratic governance.
  • Our laws will have to be amended. At the moment the laws are so liberal. The idea was to attract investment but we are willing to take a look at our laws again. The mining industry must move from being an enclosure to being fully integrated into the Ghanaian local economy. Tax revenues are minimal. The nation does not hardly benefit from high mineral prices.
