General Secretary of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has alleged that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo deliberately appointed some members of the fairer sex to positions of higher authority in his administration just to sully the image of women.
According to him, the president purposely appointed Tiwaa Addo Danquah to head the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of Ghana Police Service and Mrs. Jean Mensa as the chairperson for Electoral Commission (EC), to portray the false impression of a government that is gender-sensitive, eventhough he (the president) considered them to be "blockheads".
Commenting on the arrest of the party's National Chairman Ofosu Ampofo and President Nana Addo’s recent submission on women empowerment at a Conference in Canada, in an interview on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia Morning Show, the NDC Chief Scribe accused President Akufo-Addo of really not having the interest of Ghanaian women at heart regarding such appointments.
“I believe that President Akufo-Addo himself does not have the interest of Ghanaian women at heart because in the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks; which is why the President said Ghanaian women are not pushing and knocking hard enough. He cunningly portrays himself as someone who has the best interest of women. Have you seen how he embarrassed himself in Canada? Because what he said about Ghanaian women is exactly his thoughts,” he asserted.
General Mosquito, as he is affectionately called in political circles, maintained that President Akufo-Addo “deliberately selects some women who are block-headed and hand over positions to them and when they fail, he turns around to say on international platforms that Ghanaian women lack drive and dynamism”.
To him, it will be best if all gender-based groups in the country rise up against the President for appointing such mediocre women to key positions of trust.
“...it is time for the gender groups to rise up against the President....they should make Ghanaians believe that when women are appointed, they can do the work better than men and that the person who is appointing women should know that there are better women in the country than those block-headed women he is deliberately appointing....
“deep within President Akufo-Addo, he does not believe in Ghanaian women as he has been portrayed. He only chooses women who are block-headed so that we can have bad examples of women who have failed in their positions, so that Ghanaians will get upset and he will then say that he would have appointed more women but they are not performing,” he added.

The man needs some maintenance up in his head. We think we all know him but I am sure he seriously needs an assessment
Jean and Tiwaa, please don't mind Asiedu Nketia because apart from being ***barred word*** he is also mentally unstable. I hear he fell into a pit latrine when he was a child and swallowed some of the maggots in it so you see, when a mentally incompetent person insults you you don't take it serious.
Do not blame Gen Mosquito, the problem is the party NDC. Check all the party executives, Sammy Gyamfi, Kweku Boahen, Akamba etc. and even Ex President Mahama and the founder Ex President Rawlings. Mainly Greedy Bastards (quoting Rawlings) and tribalistic characters follow the NDC
Ei Asiedu Nketia! Hmmmmmm. I think if you have any thanks, give to the President, his Excellency Nana Akufu-Addo. After using your company to steal millions from the Bui Dam Authority, you've been allowed to walk about freely for nearly two and half years. For all that you did, your right abode now should have been the Kete-Krachie prison. We can't blame you. For me you are simply jealous of the two noble women. You have never had the courage to attend any public or state function with your wife because of her "beauty" but you have the guts to call to self-accomplished women of the nation blockheaded. If any of them were your relative, would describe them with the same word? I won't ask if any were your wife because you too u8ly to qualify even to stand by wither Tiwaah or Jean.
Mr Asiedu Nketsia,how can you describe these God gifted ladies as block-headed.They are better than your wife in everything.Only last week your women organizer some NDC women were blasting the President over women dynamism and today you are insulting the same very women.Mr Asiedu think before you open your mouth and it will help you.
If hollow headed people like Gen. Mosquito is the administrator of a political party that has ruled Ghana then I do not wonder any more why our democracy has gone to the dogs. You Mosquito who claims to be championing the course of women, even wearing their winter coat (wrongly) now has this unfortunate comments about women in authority, then I am afraid, women in NDC will not have any place in governance should this mistake of a party come back to power. No wonder Nana Konadu left you people to form her party. Sherry Ayitey and others should learn a cue from this. Mmoa party, with mmoa leaders.
use your head and not your heart , Asiedu Nketiah. They are block-headed but are more intelligent than you are. How do we describe you then? People like you irritate me because you think you have the right to insult and other do not have. You are fortunate are not the husband to any of them. Nka wo bete wopeka. ***barred word*** wai
Heerrr Asiedu Nkati3 you f0000ool ohhhh. How can you describe those women as block-headed and equally think you are speaking for women??? They are far intelligent than you - You who went on a national visit abroad in a woman's coat. I don't blame you but I blame the very "Intelligent" delegates who voted you as their General Secretary.
You have hit right on the head.
NDC voted for Asiedu Nketia to disgrace Ghanaian men in Ghana and abroad with his unrefined character and comments. How can normal people elect such person to be their secretary?
