Nkroful (W/R), Nov. 22, GNA – Mr Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ellembelle, is set to invest GHC5,000 as seed capital to open an account at the Bank for the initiative.
This is in line with the manifesto of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to empower women through the Women Development Bank
The fund is expected to assist the women to establish their own micro businesses and expand their base with time.
He said this when he addressed some women during a campaign tour at Nkroful in the Western Region.
The Ellembelle MP said his office had designed a database of beneficiaries and assured the women that the money was ready for distribution.
Mr Buah recalled that as part of their economic empowerment, about 5,000 sewing machines were distributed to women in the constituency during the celebration of the NkrumahFest.
He appealed to the people of Nkroful to vote for him and Former President John Dramani Mahama to bring the needed development to their doorsteps.
Madam Elizabeth Johnny, the Deputy Ellembelle Constituency Women Treasurer of the NDC, thanked the MP for donating the sewing machines and hair dryers to the 5,000 women in the constituency, adding that the seed fund would grow in no time to alleviate their economic plight.
She assured the MP of their readiness to campaign vigorously for him and the NDC to win the votes at Nkroful in the December 7 general elections.
