Irene Naa Torshie, the former Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), has responded to members of the NPP who have accused her of backing Kennedy Agyapong in hopes of securing the vice presidential candidacy.
According to Naa Torshie, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who had no party card, was made vice president for eight It seems fair for me to also become vice president, given her service to the party.
Speaking to NPP delegates, Irene Naa Torshie stated, “They are saying I want to become vice president, that is why I am supporting Kennedy Agyapong. As I am standing here, if I become a vice president, is there anything wrong with it?
If someone who didn’t have a party card and hadn’t served the party in any capacity can be made vice president for 8 years, then it seems fair for me to also become vice president, given my service to the party”.
“They are even saying I collapse the School Feeding, when they come telling lies about me, tell them to sell their candidate and stop telling lies about me”, she added.
In related news, Irene Naa Torshie, the former Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), has criticised former vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia over his failure to fix Ghana’s economy after eight years.
The former NPP MP recounted how former President Akufo-Addo told Ghanaians he brought Dr Bawumia to come and fix the Ghanaian economy, but he failed to deliver after eight years.
According to Naa Torshie, the NPP always bragged about being more knowledgeable and having the men, but the NDC has beaten them.
She asserted that the NDC government, whatever way they are doing it, have been able to stabilise the dollar at 12 cedis, which the NPP led by Bawumia’s economic management team could not do.
Speaking in a video shared on social media, Naa Torshie stated, “We said we had the men, and we are more knowledgeable. Today, they beat us to it; that is not the only thing he did. They have been able to keep the dollar at 12 cedis. Why is anybody not blaming the Governor, the Finance Minister, and the Vice President who chairs the Economic Management team? Is it because I am a female?
In this country, it is easy to put your hand in the woman’s eye and blame her for something; the dollar has been kept, whether they are putting money in whatever it is they are doing. President Akufo-Addo made it clear that he only brought Dr Bawumia to come and help him fix the economy”.
She added, “He said our money has lost value, which is why I brought Dr Bawumia to fix the economy. If, after 8 years, we could not fix the economy, where are the men who are blaming me?
17 cedis to the dollar, all those men don’t they exist. It is sad that I have to come out and talk about the party like this. The way they are pointing their hands into my eye, I have infections in my eyes, and it’s time for me to bring that log”.
Naa Torshie further defended her records in the Akufo-Addo government, “I did not do anything wrong. I am an agent, a tool. The job is by the administrator is to receive funds from finance, and when you receive the funds, you disburse them as approved by parliament.
I work hard, and my job was given to me by President Akufo-Addo. By the time President Akufo-Addo was leaving office, he honoured a few people that he believed worked hard for him, and I am proud to say President Akufo-Addo honoured me”.
