Almost two years on, the Women's Dev't Bank hasn't opened its doors to a single market woman - Bawumia
The NDC also promised a Women's Development Bank
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed disappointment that the Women's Development Bank (WDB) has not opened its doors to any market women almost two years into the Mahama administration. At the NPP's conference in Kumasi, Bawumia criticized the New Patriotic Party's opponents for failing to fulfill their promise of a Women's Development Bank.
He also highlighted the increased electricity and transportation costs, rising rent prices, and the overall deterioration of Ghana's economy under the Mahama government. The cedi's stability, largely due to the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme, has been the only lifeline for the government, according to Bawumia. He pointed out that other key government initiatives, such as the Agenda 111 healthcare program and Free Senior High School, have also been abandoned or failed under the NDC administration.
