The Officer in charge of Special Program and M&S at Odekro PMO Foundation, Kinna Likimani has described President Akufo-Addo’s appointment of ten men as Regional Ministers as humiliating and disappointing.

According to her, the situation of women’s representation in governance is really now a crisis and although there have been several calls for including women in governance, people in leadership have ignored those calls and sidelined women.

“The situation of women’s representation in Parliament and Governance is now a crisis. During the election, all the observer bodies that came to Ghana raised concerns on this issue. The president was trying to do something like that in the NPP but he was shot down because he didn’t do enough consultations. We are waiting for the affirmative action bill so we are waiting for it to see the way forward.”

“It has been very disappointing to observe President Akufo-Addo to appoint ten men to lead the ten regions of Ghana. That particular appointment was very humiliating because it has no woman. So he means no woman in his party is fit to run the affairs at the regional level?” she questioned why women are constantly being sidelined.

She noted that traditionally, the NPP has women of steel who have the needed expertise and are qualified for several governance positions so the president’s continuous sidelining of women in her part is a contradiction to what he said about bridging the Gender gap.

She indicated that it is imperative for the new NPP government to correct some mistakes they have committed since they are in their early days to avert future mishaps.
