Ghanaians have vehemently criticized the Minority for demanding Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang’s participation in Parliament’s debate on the 2025 budget statement, citing a blatant inconsistency in their argument.
The Minority has been vocal in its demand for the Vice President’s presence and input in the budget discussions, asserting that her participation would be vital.
Critics have questioned the Minority’s position, pointing out that they did not extend a similar courtesy to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during his tenure. This apparent double standard has raised eyebrows, with many arguing that the NPP must recognize that the Vice President’s role involves more than just physical presence.
Vice President Opoku-Agyemang is a highly accomplished individual with numerous responsibilities that demand her attention. Her impressive track record in academia and politics has equipped her with the expertise to drive meaningful change in governance.
The Vice President’s presence would be determined by her schedule and priorities, rather than the Minority’s demands.
She continues to work tirelessly alongside President John Mahama to reset the country, and Ghanaians are well aware of her contributions.
The Minority’s claims about the Vice President’s silence are misplaced. She would not be silenced and would appear when necessary. Her commitment to advancing the resetting Agenda and promoting gender equity is unwavering, and her leadership style, characterized by integrity, inclusivity, and collaboration, would undoubtedly foster effective governance and decision-making.
