The Member of Parliament for Atiwa West Constituency, Korkor Laurette Asante, has criticised the government over its failure to deliver on its promise to establish a Women's Development Bank, a key campaign commitment of the ruling (NDC).
Speaking on the floor of Parliament during a debate on the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review, the (NPP) MP accused President 's administration of engaging in what she termed "economic betrayal dressed up as economic policy." "Mr Speaker, the NDC, when they were in opposition, said they would reduce taxes and ease burdens.
But what we're seeing is economic betrayal dressed up as economic policy," she said.
Asante expressed disappointment that the much-touted Women's Development Bank, which was expected to empower women entrepreneurs and market traders across the country, has not materialised. "Mr Speaker, the government promised a Women's Development Bank as a flagship intervention to support our women.
