The Chief Executive of SEND-Ghana, Siapha Kamara, has expressed joy following the passage of the Affirmative Action Bill. He said there have been several campaigns and advocacy efforts before this bill was passed, and stakeholders believed that some traditional practices hindered the participation, education, health, and voice of women. "Before this bill was passed, we had to fight very hard. This bill will bridge that gap, and that is why we applaud it." Women, he argued, constitute more than 50% of our population, yet when one assesses government, parliament, and other places, women are fewer. He said that was why they helped in advocating to have the bill passed. He said: "What this bill seeks to achieve is to make Ghana a better country.
