Election 2024: Let's work hard to protect free SHS - Irene Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu urges women

Mrs. Irene Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Executive Chairperson of the Sompahemaa Foundation, a private philanthropic organization and wife of Suame MP, has called on all industrious and forward-looking women to consider supporting Dr. Bawumia's 2024 Campaign.

She noted that the campaign is the greatest sacrifice ever made to secure a better future for the girl-child.

She made the call in the Ashanti Region, where she joined the Second Lady of the Republic, H.E. Hajia Samira Bawumia, on a region tour.

Hajia Samira has been in the Ashanti Region to promote the compelling message of her husband, the Vice President and the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party for the 2024 general elections.

Mrs. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu affirmed that education is undoubtedly the bedrock of all development. She explained that for the country to reverse the dwindling fortunes of the vulnerable in society, most of whom are women and children, there is an urgent need for governments to develop policies and programs that propel women towards sustainable job opportunities as outlined in the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 8.

Mrs. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has a strong conviction that the current NPP-led administration has provided unmatched infrastructural development in many sectors of the Ghanaian economy, which, if sustained, would form the foundation upon which all could leverage sustainable growth.

She is a trained teacher, nurse, and philanthropist whose passion to restore hope to the vulnerable has been ignited by the sheer number of people seeking support from her husband, Hon. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, on a daily basis. She believes that the desire to assist as many people to climb the financial ladder must resonate with the consciences of Ghanaian women to vote for Dr. Bawumia and the NPP to safeguard the free education policy.

She appealed to all women to contribute their "widow's mite" in various forms, and thus leave a lasting legacy for future generations.

Mrs. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu concluded that "Education indeed can provide the bigger basket from which every individual would tap for success" as aptly stated by Dr. Bawumia in his vision statement and manifesto.
