Mahama did better than what Akufo-Addo is doing - Betty Mould

The first Vice Chair of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Betty Mould-Iddrisu, has expressed worry over what she claims are unbalanced reportage by the media about achievement of the NDC government in the Ashanti region.

According to the former Attorney General, Ghana in the last seven years under the NDC administration, has witnessed an unprecedented achievement in educational infrastructure.

She has therefore called on the media in the region to be objective in their reportage of the performance of the Mills and Mahama administrations.“ When I was appointed the minister of Education, there were 525 Senior High Schools and one man has added almost half of that number within this short space of time...it is almost revolutionary, unprecedented.“...Sometimes when I listen to the radio and I hear the things that are said on the radio, I feel pained, I feel pained that I am an Ashanti. I wonder why we can’t value what we have. I wonder why we can’t acknowledge that in Africa, Ghana is number one and among the top five countries,” she added.
