The campaign spokesperson for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), says Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyemang’s speech at her party outdooring focused on matters that concerned her and the party.
Since the NDC’s event last night, there has been some debate surrounding her speech which has been advertised to highlight her policies for the country.
However, political analysts have argued that she did not reveal any policy she would introduce should the NDC win the general elections in December, 2020.
James Agyenim-Boateng explained on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Tuesday, that the statement he authored did include policies she stood for because she made known to Ghanaians her concerns.
He said going by the definition of the word ‘policy’ in the Cambridge dictionary, the former Education Minister highlighted the challenges about women and their accessibility to high positions, a feat she has achieved. This, in his opinion, is in fact an indicator of the policies she agrees with.
“I don’t know whether that is not a policy. She talks about the fact that our young women must rise above their obstacles and ought not to have any hindrances in their way and understand that whatever a man is doing today, a woman is capable of doing,” he said.
Mr Agyenim-Boateng also said that the cause of her confusion could be attributed to a matter of style. However, from where he stands, it was not confusing but rather clear cut.
“[Policies] are ideas or a plan of what to do in particular situations and she has told you what ought to be done in the situation of a 90-year-old woman who, some barbaric people with a primitive mindset have lynched and how she thinks police should convince us that the woman did not die in vain.”
He said such an example proves that she is opposed to the act and looks forward to making sure that it through policy, that does not happen again.
According to him, the attention she has received post-event shows that people's interest in her policy, as were “glued looking out for these things.”
He insisted that he does not see it as criticism but rather exciting.
