SOME TOP members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) are planning to organize a female-dominated demonstration against Education Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh aka Napo.
This is because the NDC members are apparently not happy about Napo’s recent statement that was construed to be an indictment on the immediate past Education Minister, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman.
Napo, who is known for his candid opinion, had disclosed the colossal debt that the NDC government left behind at the ministry under the leadership of Prof. Opoku-Agyeman.
The NDC gurus are not happy because they believe Napo’s statement has the potential of denting the image of Prof. Opoku-Agyeman and the NDC as a political party.
Demo Plot
The NDC top members (whose identities are being kept secret for now), held a secret meeting at a location in Accra last Friday where they hatched the idea to demonstrate massively against Napo.
Per their strategy, they intend wooing more NDC women to sign a petition against Napo for disclosing the rot he inherited as a minister.
The demonstration is intended to take place before the end of this month (November).
Aim Of Demo
The organizers want to use the protest to tarnish Napo’s hard-won image, sources within the NDC disclosed on condition of anonymity.
They said the angry NDC gurus see his (Napo’s) recent statement not only as an attack on Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyerman, but the entire NDC as a political party, and so they want to retaliate.
They also believe the demonstration would benefit the NDC as it would overshadow the huge rot that it left behind at the ministry – which Napo had disclosed publicly.
Napo’s Statement
The Daily Guide carried the story on its front page last week Wednesday.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s flagship programme, ‘Ekosii Sen,’ Napo said the ex-education minister’s poor leadership resulted in the piling of huge debts at the ministry.
For instance, he said Prof. Opoku-Agyeman’s poor leadership contributed to the starving of basic schools of consumables such as chalk. He added that the ministry also procured services without making any provisions to pay for them.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh said that the ministry left behind a debt of $18 million through the distribution of yellow buses to schools, adding that a staggering $17 million textbooks debt still hangs on the neck of the ministry.
The minister of education, who is also Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia South in Kumasi, said that the ministry is faced with a GH¢10 million debt, which occurred through the supply of chalk.
Napo also disclosed that Special School debt stood at GH¢4.7 million by the time the NPP took over power, adding that the NDC’s so-called free senior high school (SHS) programme also left behind a debt of GH¢33 million.
Paper’s Checks
Meanwhile, painstaking checks conducted by this paper have revealed that whatever Napo said about Prof. Opoku-Agyeman on Asempa FM is the truth.

They can go out and demonstrate who cares after stealing our money they have to gust to demonstrate, Nana when will you start jailing these ***barred word*** they are a nuisance to Ghanaians
Even the school uniforms and sandals you were bragging off, you could not even pay for them and left debt for the current government to pay. Mr Ford told Ghanaians during the electioneering campaign that his record on infrastructure was unprecedented surpassing any president in Ghana, earning him a nickname "Mr Infrastructure". Why then are people crying over bad roads and lack of classrooms and dormitories. Were they lying to Ghanaians. At one Platform he said he used 8 years to lay foundation and at another he was so confused and said he has done so much infrastructure than any president even more than Osagyefo.
Now NDC are moving from press conferences to demonstrations. Just 11 months after losing power, they cannot sit and plan anything meaningful to tell Ghanaians because of their steeealling and corrupt practices so they resorted to propaganda and engaging in unnecessary noise making.
WHO CARES? DEMONSTRATING FOR A DAY WILL MEAN WHAT? WE WANT THEM TO DEMONSTRATE NAKED FOR ALL WE CARE. YOU DON'T FEEL SHY BELONGING TO THIS ***barred word*** BRIGADE. THY JOKE OF THE CENTURY. TWEAAAAAAAA!
Because they have NOTHING to do!
This toilet paper called daily guide must grow up. Enough of your gutter journalism
yes you can go is ur right but show bijaja
Stay in opposition is like HELL you can't take the heat.The women must demonstrate naked and we are to watch.APUUUUUUU!! Confuse women.
An incompetent so called professor, whether male or female, must be described as such. When NDC was insulting the current gender minister, Otiko Djaba, these shameful women were shamelessly asleep. Now they are awake because it is the turn of an incompetent NDC professor/former minister of education. Kai.
THESE WOMEN DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING MEANINGFUL TO DO. THE MONEY THEY STOLEEE FROM THE NATION COFFERS IS STILL IN THEIR POCKETS. IF A WOMAN IS INCOMPETENT WHAT STOPS NAPO FROM SAYING IT. THIS MAN HAS SAID THE TRUTH AND IT IS A DISGRACEEE TO HER PROFESSION. NDC IS UNDER CURSE AND WHOEVER ASSOCIATES HIM/HER SELF, NO MATTER, YOUR BACKGROUND YOU WILL DISGRACEEE YOURSELF. NAPO KUDOS.
