Former Ghana’s Attorney General & First Vice Chair of NDC-Betty Mould-Iddrisu Says She is SAD to Be Ashanti

Betty Mould-Iddrisu is disappointed and not only that, she is even sad to be an Ashanti—and this is in relation to what she regards as the poor manner president John Dramani’s achievements are reported in Ashanti region.

The former Attorney General and current first Vice Chair of NDC said in her estimation, Ghana has seen an unprecedented achievement in education and educational infrastructure—but this is not what is presented by and to the people of Ashanti region.

She said, “ When I was appointed the minister of Education, there were 525 Senior High Schools and one man has added almost half of that number within this short space of time…it is almost revolutionary, unprecedented.

“…Sometimes when I listen to the radio and I hear the things that are said on the radio, I feel pained, I feel pained that I am an Ashanti. I wonder why we can’t value what we have. I wonder why we can’t acknowledge that in Africa, Ghana is number one and among the top five countries.”

She made these comments when she was addressing party supporters in the Ashanti region—and also called on reporters to be objective in their reportage.
