National Women’s Organiser of the National Democratic Congress NDC), Dr Hanna Bisiw, has
made a shocking revelation about how she financed her campaign activities in
the run up to the 2020 elections.
Speaking to Oheneba Boamah
Bennie on Battle Grounds on Power FM, the former deputy Agric Minister stated
her party could not finance all her campaign activities.
The women’s leader has come
under criticisms by some members of the NDC who believe Dr Bisiw neglected her
job and rather focused on her Parliamentary ambition in the Tano South
Constituency in the Ahafo Region.
But Dr Bisiw has denied the
allegations, explaining, “I did my best to mobilize women to believe in the
cause of the NDC. I went round the country training my women organizers for our
cause.”
She said instead of being
demoralized by the lack of funds, Dr Bisiw indicated she had to use her own
resources to work for the party even during the lockdown period last year when
she went round the Greater Accra and Kumasi areas to distribute food and other
items to the vulnerable on behalf of the NDC.
“During the lockdown, we went
round distributing good on behalf of our flagbearer John Mahama. I did all
these for the love of the party.”
Asked whether the party
supported her activities with funds, she said “I was only given GH¢ 4,000 and
30 t-shirts to support my campaign.”
Although she always sent her
budget to the national treasurer of the party, that was all the NDC could offer
her.
“I never went to anyone’s
filling station to get fuel on credit. I was running round the country
propagating the NDC message and training my people,” she added.
“Even the training that I did
for all regional women organizers in Tamale was capital intensive. I spent over
GH¢100,000,” she disclosed.
To the former minister, she
dedicated herself to the cause if the NDC and did it with all her might hence
it would be unfair for some persons to blame her for contributing to the loss
of NDC in the December elections.
