All said and done, the much awaited inaugural ceremony of
law makers is now history. Let me take chances to as a concern citizenry
congratulate especially all a Ghanaian for the discerning choices made. I must
say once again, the smooth transition notwithstanding the various alleged
claims of electoral irregularities, Ghana for once again sent a strong message
to the outside world to be the beacon of democratic dispensations across the
globe.
In line with gender equality, the nation for once has made a
bit of inroads. The number of female representatives has at least increased
compared to previous elections though not significantly. Am with the strong
conviction the nation in the coming years would make a mighty ocean in terms of
fully ascribing to call for female representation. For the current phenomenon,
seems to me, a kind of “a little drop of water trend”.
The caucus should not for once relent on its efforts of
championing the cause of the female it stands for. The opportunity given is a
sort of a test case since the call for female leadership has still not fully
resonated with majority of the Ghanaian populace. The caucus should abhor any practice
of partisanship politics and form a bloc that subsequently would become the
vehicle to drive home the numerous problems hindering the female growth.
On no occasion should members of the caucus forget that their
cause is a common one. The confidence repose in members by their various
constituents should not be taken for granted since that might mar their chances
of re-elections in subsequent elections. The goodies that inevitably come with
the level you have inclined to must not obstruct you from standing for your
constituents and the female at large.
Most importantly, let us constructively add to the contributions
of the house and avoid being too passionate with issues. I wish the caucus the
best of tenure in its new find field of endeavor.
