Nana Oye Lithur, your own husband calls you a thief!

For many Ghanaians, until she was granted the privilege of serving as Minister for Women, Children and Gender Equality, Nana Oye Lithur was known as a human rights activist. women and children. But now, to hear her own husband for twenty or so years, the former Minister of Mills-Mahama's Cabinet is a common law criminal and a reckless thief who has spent at least half a million US dollars out of Ghana for the purchase of a private mansion abroad. South Africa, to be precise. This very public accusation means that the former appointee to Mahama, who recently met with his former boss to solicit his blessing and support for the candidacy for a parliamentary seat, somewhere in the Greater Accra region, is not the only way to get the job done. has no credibility or integrity to the references of President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo about the empowerment of women in the country.

You see, stealing money from Ghanaian taxpayers to buy a mansion in South Africa, as we learned Mr Anthony Lithur, is not a patriotic and responsible idea on the part of 39, a Ghanaian citizen responsible for a progressive and emulative leadership model for young women of the country perhaps who seeks to follow in the footsteps of Ms. Lithur. We know that she is a common criminal and a thief, precisely because of her own husband, who also publicly asked his ex-wife to explain to the entire nation how she had managed to buy this property. silver house in South Africa. As far as I know, Ms. Lithur has not yet explained the accusations made by Mr. Lithur in his divorce statements. She has absolutely no other recourse or alternative than to badert or deny her alleged theft of the Ghanaian taxpayer's money and its illegal use to buy an expensive mansion in a posh and posh neighborhood in Africa. South, in the run-up to the 2020 general election, if it wants to be taken seriously as a parliamentary candidate.

I have already mentioned President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's candid speech on the generally nihilistic lethargy on the part of the Ghanaian elites with regard to their own empowerment in the political arena where, according to Nana Akufo -Addo, the most significant and the most existential is far-reaching decisions are made: "We are talking about [heavy-lifting] decisions, not wishes and hopes; we are talking about decisions that will make a difference "in the fate of all Ghanaian citizens, regardless of ethnicity, religion or status or socio-economic clbad and political affiliation (See" I cried at the Akufo-Addo commentary on Ghana »Women – Oye Lithur" Modernghana.com 6/7/19). Indeed, unless emotionally and mentally disrupted, or even clinically retarded, Nana Oye Lithur would prefer to praise and greet Nana Akufo-Addo for putting her proverbial finger at the center of some issues that are detrimental to her health. the general mobility of women in Ghana who, for the most part, have had almost one desperate dependence on the generosity and mercy of their men for meaningful political appointments and privileges in the political arena .

Otherwise, why would Nana Oye Lithur have recourse to former President John Dramani Mahama, on all fours, slavishly seeking the latter's approval to allow her to be elected seriously and confidently? a seat in Parliament, rather than under the direction of some of women's rights? Organizations and badociations of accountability in the country, above all, for the approval and support of its political aspirations and ambitions? No example could better justify the president's flawless observation that Ghana's middle and upper clbad women still have a long way to go in order to pose a formidable political challenge to their men and, with them, create an enviable force with which to count and a progressive model for our young people, especially our young women.
