NEWSI was given only Gh¢4,000 and 30 T-shirts as NDC Women’s Organizer for 2020
The National Women’s Organizer of the opposition
National Democratic Congress (NDC) Dr. Louisa
Hanna Bissiw has disclosed that throughout the
2020 electioneering campaign process, her party
the NDC only gave her Gh¢4,000 for campaign
mobilization of women to vote for John Mahama who
stood on the party’s ticket, MyNewsGh.com
reports.

The former Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture
was elected the National Women’s Organizer of
the NDC in 2018 by beating contenders, Hajia
Zaynab Mahama, who was the then incumbent as well
as Hajia Tawa Zakari to take up the women
leadership position in the NDC.

Dr. Bissiw said in addition to the Gh¢4000 NDC
National Treasurer gave her, she was given only 30
T-Shirts in addition.



In a video re-streamed by MyNewsGh.com with Power
FM’s Oheneba as host, Dr. Louisa Hannah Bissiw
lamented that the money she was given was
inadequate and could not have been used for any
effective electioneering campaign if the amount of
money were anything to go by.

She disclosed that all the activities she was
engaged in that grabbed attention of the public
could not have come from the “meagre” Ghc4000
cedis as a program she hosted to train Tamale
women alone cost Ghc100,000.

“I was not getting what I needed to work with.
In the election time, the truth is one, I was
given 4000 and 30 T-shirts as National Women’s
Organizer. I couldn’t use it for anything. So
whatever work people saw me doing all over the
place and were talking that I was visible together
with my women and going to markets all over..
walking at Tamale, upper East with my women and
organizing Accra training were my efforts… The
Tamale training cost me Ghc100,000”.
