The president of the 31st December Women’s Movement (DWM), Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, has descended heavily on President J.A. Kufuor and the leadership of the governing New Patriotic Party, describing them as nation wreckers. She lamented the refusal of the government to abide by the ruling of the court over he movement’s cocoa processing factory at Kpone, in the Kpone-Katamanso Constituency of the Greater Accra Region.
Addressing a mammoth rally at Tema New Town, in the Tema East Constituency, last Tuesday, to round off her campaign tour of the area, nana Konadu said the NPP, under President Kufuor, has demonstrated great disrespect for judiciary decisions.
“President Kufuor is traveling around the world with our money, claiming he is looking for investors to set up a factory to process cocoa, while we have one deteriorating, we have a factory that can create more than 2,500 jobs for our people,” she asserted.
According to Nana Konadu, who is also the former first lady of the republic, even though the court has ruled in favour of the movement, the government has failed to abide by the decision. She told the rally that the court, in its ruling, has asked the government to refurbish the broken down machines at the factory site, for the role the Kufuor-led administration played in the deterioration.
She added that the government is still hold funds belonging to the movement at the Bank of Ghana, even though the judgment tasked the government to release the said fund, to enable the factory to start production.
“As a movement, we will continue to fight for the common good of our citizens, especially women, we will continue to empower our women to enable them to support their children’s education and the whole family,” she added.
Nana Konadu advised the people to give their votes to Prof John Evans Atta Mills and the NDC, so that the company can take off and create jobs for the youth of Kpone and its catchments areas, such as Ashaiman and Tema.
She described nana Akufo Addo and the NPP as not having the country at heart, but instead are only interested in the welfare of themselves and their families.
“They tell you they believe in Ghana, and yet all they do point to the fact that, they are only in power to enrich their friends, girlfriends, and relatives. Their ‘Believe in Ghana’ slogan is only to deceive you vote for them,” she claimed.
