CPP parliamentary candidate pledges to empower women

Madam Abdul Rahman Latifa, the Convention People’s Party (CPP) candidate for the Bolgatanga Central Constituency, has said she would support women to develop their businesses when elected as Member of Parliament in the coming polls.

She said a CPP government would carefully appraise the education, health, and women economic empowerment issues confronting the country and develop policies that would address existing challenges.

Madam Latifa, who is a professional teacher, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, said over the past years she has organized extra classes for students free of charge.

She said she has also been involved in other benevolent activities including paying school fees for pupils, taking charge of hospital bills of women and children and called on the electorate to vote for her and break the monopoly enjoyed by men as MPs for the constituency.

She said the CPP would institute prudent policies on sanitation and housing to improve on the health of the people and reduce the pressure on the health insurance scheme.

Madam Latifa called on the electorate to give the CPP the opportunity to institute better and workable social intervention programmes that would bring the needed change by voting massively for her and the party’s presidential candidate.
