A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team, Gifty Enam Gbedevi has described former President and NDC flagbearer’s proposed policies aimed at resetting the country on the path of progress and economic freedom as a game changer.
According to her, the NDC was the only political party in the country capable of changing the current trajectory of economic downturn bedeviling the country due to the abysmal performance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government which has brought untold hardship on the people of Ghana.
In an interview, Gbedevi touched on the NDC’s 2024 manifesto asserting that the party’s 24-hour economy initiative would create more job opportunities for the masses and enable businesses to maximize profits further attracting more investors into the country.
She highlighted the party’s plan to establish a Women’s Development Bank which would create the enabling environment for women to get soft loans to boost their trades and to be able to fend for themselves and their children, bridging the widening gender inequality gap.
Touching on the NDC leader’s pledge to make tuition fees free for freshers in every public university, the NDC communicator asserted that the initiative would reduce the financial burden on parents who go through hurdles to pay admission and hostel fees for their wards, enabling more students to benefit from tertiary education.
“We cannot afford to see the growing numbers of Free Senior High School (SHS) graduates remain at home without access to tertiary education – having thousands of our young ones graduating from SHS and not making provisions for them to continue their education deflates the purpose of the Free SHS policy – what is the sense in churning out thousands of SHS graduates with no clear plans to help them attain tertiary education? she asked, while echoing the NDC flagbearer’s proposed program to take up the fees for the freshers.
Urging the people of Ghana to consider the current economic hardships under the NPP government these past eight years, Gbedevi appealed to the electorate to vote massively for the NDC flagbearer and all NDC parliamentary candidates in the December elections as the party was poised to restore hope and dignity to the suffering masses; adding, “Ghanaians are looking up to the NDC to take them out from this quagmire of economic mismanagement, corruption, injustice and economic inequality brought on us by the NPP, and we cannot afford to fail them.”
