Strangers, GH¢500 Allowance: Anita Desoso lashes out over 'token' appointment

National Democratic Congress (NDC) stalwart Anita Desoso has once again called out the John Dramani Mahama government over the treatment of members of her party, including herself.

Speaking in a recent interview on XYZ TV, Anita Desoso, while lamenting the appointments in the government being given to non-NDC members, disclosed that she was appointed to the board of the National Population Council.

She said that she would have left the appointment but for her love for the party, indicating that all the other members on the board were strangers in the NDC.

“If we want to win the next election or if we want our party to continue to be strong, we must do things to make members of our party happy. But if we do nothing, assume that we (the party members) are angels, and we keep sending NPP members to where they are not supposed to be, and NDC members keep crying, I think it is not the best.

“Let me use myself as an example. I have been appointed to the board of the National Population Council… if not for God, I would have left already. I would have left already if not for God and the party,” Desoso, who has previously occupied top positions in the NDC, including being Vice Chairman and Women’s Organiser, said.

She added, “I don’t know any person there, and so when we go for meetings, I just sit down quietly and look at them. I don’t know where they were picked from. At least if I knew them, then we would know how to discuss issues to find solutions.”

The former NDC Women’s Organiser also expressed her disappointment with the allowance she gets from the meetings of the council.

“You can just imagine, I was late for one of the meetings, I could not get there early. I was called later and when I went, I was given GH¢500. What will Anita Desoso do with GH¢500? Look at the number of people I support, and I’m being given GH¢500. As soon as the money was given to me, I gave it to my driver,” she said.

She also claimed that only 10% of appointees at the Jubilee House are members of the NDC.
