    LADY AKUFO-ADDO HAS NOT WON THE ELECTIONS YET. WHEN HE WINS MAYBE HE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT BUT NOT FOR NOW. HE CAN ONLY DO THINGS WHEN HE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT SO LEAVE HIM ALONE AND DEAL WITH NEC.

  • LONTO-BOY 9 years ago

    Ursula is becoming a pain in Nana Akufo-Addo's backside. This whining militant feminist is pushing NPP and Nana Akufo-Addo to self-destruct. As intelligent as Ursula is, she should know that this "Affirmative Action" is stup ...

    Ursula has bad grade hair, coupled with the heinous act of shaving all young Ghanaian school age kids(girls) hair during their early years. It is a crime and an abomination just as female genital mutilation.

    Madam, in politics I don't believe there is any affirmative action. Should that exit, we may have some incompetent women to be our representatives. Doing things like giving women freeway because of gender is irresponsible and ...

    Don't tie Nana to the Legislature. That is not within his jurisdiction. If he wins, he can appoint all-female ministers to his cabinet. The question is, what about if a sitting female MP is not pleasing her constituency? She ...
