Naana Jane urges Ghanaians to desist from politics of insult

The running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, has called for an end to the use of insults and unsavoury language in Ghana’s politics.

According to her, such actions do nothing for the image of the country’s budding democracy.

Speaking at a meeting with women in Accra, the Vice Presidential Hopeful urged Ghanaians to contribute to a violent-free election.

“We need to turn the face of our politics into developmental issues. We need to turn it away from insults, filthy language, and unproductive and unhelpful things. We need to redefine politics in the country. Things must change and the time is now.”

Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang further indicated that, the next NDC government will roll out better interventions to improve service delivery in the health sector.

According to the Vice Presidential hopeful, the current challenges in health facilities across the regions have denied many access to quality and affordable health services.

She noted, for example, the needless stress on large health facilities because of deficits in primary health care.

“You go [to the big hospitals] any weekday at 5 am. You will see people with cloths on the floor so you ask yourself when did they get there waiting to be attended,” Prof. Opoku-Agyemang observed.

“Maybe this is an issue that could have been dealt with at CHPS compound [Community Health-Based Planning Services compound] if there was one. It could have been dealt with at the health centre if there was one. It could have been dealt with at the district hospitals if all the districts had one.”

“If we say we will complete all the CHPS compounds, it is a very important step in the right direction,” she added.
