'I feel pained that I am an Ashanti' – Betty Mould-Iddrisu

 Betty Mould-Iddrisu, the first Vice Chair of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has lamented bitterly about how the Media in the Ashanti region reports the achievement of the NDC government. Addressing party supporters in the Ashanti Region, the former Attorney General urged the press in the region to be objective in their reportage of the performance of the Mills and Mahama administrations.  In her view, Ghana has seen an unprecedented achievement in education and educational infrastructure under the NDC administration   “When I was appointed the Minister of Education, there were 525 Senior High Schools and one man has added almost half of that number within this short space of time...it is almost revolutionary, unprecedented. “...Sometimes when I listen to the radio and I hear the things that are said on the radio, I feel pained, I feel pained that I am an Ashanti. I wonder why we can’t value what we have. I wonder why we can’t acknowledge that in Africa, Ghana is number one and among the top five countries,” she stressed.
