Monetisation in Politics, a threat to women’s empowerment – Dzifa Gomashie

Aflao, (V/R), Aug. 05, GNA – Ms Dzifa Abla Gomashie, Member of Parliament for Ketu South believes monetisation of political enterprise is a major threat preventing women from taking up responsibilities and other leadership positions.

She said, that most women were ready to take up leadership roles, particularly in politics, but monetisation had become an anti-climax, which was excluding most women due to their financial disadvantage.

“Politics is really expensive, and it is evident that women are not financially strong enough to take up such responsibilities as compared to their fellow men who are financially comfortable and take advantage of us the women mostly,”

On the relevance of the law and its benefits, Ms Gomashie said, a lot of laws must be tested to reveal their relevance and called on her women in general to gather the courage and take up leadership roles, especially in politics.
