President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been told to situate the implementation of the Bill at the office of the president as a sign of attaching seriousness to the implementation.
Former Broadcast journalist Shamima Muslim who made the call appealed to the President to expedite the signing of the Affirmative Action Bill which has been passed by parliament.
Speaking on the Big Issue on TV3 on Thursday, August 1, the member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said “What our president needs now to show and claim back some of the grounds he lost with the women’s movement is to prioritize the implementation of this new law that has been passed by quickly assenting to it and gazetting it.
“I think that the role out of the implementation at the office of the president, they get allocated a lot of money, 2 billion Cedis was allocated to the office of the president, I don’t know what they did with that money.
“Let them prioritise the implementation to show commitment at least in the next few months he has in office.”
The Bill was passed by the Eighth Parliament on Tuesday, July 30 after decades of back and forth in the House.
