Running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has declared that the need to implement policies that will positively impact the businesses of traders and other informal sector workers is one of the reasons why the NDC seeks the mandate of the people to run the state.
She explained that policies such as the establishment of the Women’s Development Bank and other tailor-made policies for the informal sector will ensure that the sector thrives.
“You are the reason we are coming back to government to rescue this country from collapse. So our development plan is to ensure that you get the benefit of good governance…We shall still build the markets, the schools, hospitals and road as we did in the past, but this time we shall do more to directly impact informal sector workers like you traders,” she told a durbar of traders at the Winneba market in the Central Region last Friday.
Prof Opoku-Agyemang, an indigene of the Region, urged them to vote for the NDC so that it will rescue them from the precarious situation they find themselves in, adding that the region will get its fair share of development if the NDC takes over the reins of power.
While she is in the Central Region canvassing support for the party, her boss, the Presidential candidate of the NDC, John Mahama, is in the Upper East Region camp.
