Campaign Diaries - Volta Region

October 22, 2018

Day 3, 4 and 5

Team Betty visited Krachi Nchumuru, Nkwanta North, Nkwanta South, Akan and Buem constituencies on Day 3 of the Campaign tour of the Volta Region.

On Day 4, we visited Hohoe, Ho West, Afadjato South, Akatsi North, Ketu North, Akatsi South and Keta Constituencies.

My team and I finally visted Ketu South,  Anlo, South Tongu, Central Tongu and North Tongu on the final day of our campaign tour of the Volta Region.

My tour of these constituencies brought to bear the infrastructural deficits in our stronghold. I agree with the pervasive view that much more should have been done to uplift the road and transport network throughout the Volta Region. These imperative needs alone provide the justification for the NDC's massive infrastructural development drive. The need for a change in government became even more compelling as I experienced at first hand the terrible nature of the roads in the Volta Region whilst moving from one constituency to the other.

That there is an urgent need to confront challenges the regional and constituency executives face in accessing the branches in the various communities cannot be denied. It is an outright shame that in the region where yams are as plentiful as blades of grass they have to sometimes embark on day long journeys by canoe to meet their branch members. Leadership must provide initiatives  that would ease the work of our branch, constituency and regional executives in the Volta Region.

My message of Accessible Leadership was well received by delegates in the constituencies so far visited. The call was for new ways of doing things as the old order is not yielding any positive results. We all agreed that an empowered youth and women wing was necessary for the the long term well-being of the NDC. This falls perfectly into the strategic Leadership I would provide when elected Chairman of our party.

I appreciate the host of excellent comments, suggestions, queries and prayers and I am convinced that we shall make history and march on to victory in 2020.

Vote Accessible Leadership,
Vote Betty Mould Iddrisu for National Chairman

Campaign Diaries - GAR Pt 1 ends

September 7, 2018 Day 2 The team visited the Ada, Sege and Tema Central constituencies on Day 2 of the campaign tour of the Greater Accra region. The reception was resoundingly overwhelming and the interaction lively. The constituency executives made known their expections of the next Leadership of our dear party and expressed confidence in my ability to provide that kind of Leadership. I presented my campaign message and touched on the core values of the NDC. I spoke about the need to be united for victory 2020 in order to save Ghanaians from the economic hardship imposed on them by the NPP government. The general feeling was that the party must do all it can to return to power in 2020 but the executives were unanimous in their caution that we must and should NOT do the same old things. Their sentiments were genuine and their commitment to see the NDC in power again, visible. I promised to work hand in hand with them to bring the paradigm shift. One word that caught everyo...

  Address the gaps in Ghana's justice delivery - Betty Mould Iddrisu Betty Mould Iddrisu, former Attorney General A former Attorney General, Mrs Betty-mould Iddrisu, has bemoaned the inequalities that blight the pursuance of justice in Ghana. "Without justice being seen to be done; without a reduction in the anomalies we have seen in the administration of justice, justice cannot be effectively served," she said. She made this observation during the launch of the Court Users Committee (CUC) on Friday at the Hospitality Centre, Tema, by the African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA). In a keynote address, Mrs. Iddrisu said: "there still exists a distinctive gap between the effective delivery of justice to ordinary people and the disadvantaged, and that was worrying." She pleaded with the judiciary to look at the several issues that affected the ordinary man, adding that, "Some of the issues are resource based, but others are everyday issues tha...
