Parliament of Ghana@30: UCC Students' Parliament deliberates on issues affecting women and Girls

10 Aug, 2023 By DIS

Members of the Students' Parliamentary Council of University of Cape Coast (UCC) have used mock parliamentary proceedings to highlight the importance of menstrual care and raise awareness of issues faced by girls and women during menstruation.

According to them, the increase in the price of sanitary pads was making it unaffordable for women and girls in low-income homes and deprived communities in the country to access clean and affordable menstrual products. 

The Student-Parliamentarians made the statements on the floor of the House as part of activities marking the 30th anniversary celebration of uninterrupted parliamentary democracy in Ghana on the theme, “30 years of parliamentary democ­racy under the 4th Republic: The journey thus far.” 

As part of the events, Parliament of Ghana organised public fora in the southern zones - Takoradi, Cape Coast, and Koforidua, to commemorate the anniversary.

The Graduate Students' Association of Ghana (GRASAG) Senate Representative, Hon. Araba Korsah, reading a statement on the floor of the House, appealed to government to implement a policy that would remove taxes on imported sanitary pads. 

According to her, sanitary pads should be distributed to young girls at no cost or at the very least, sold at a reasonable price because they were essential to the health and civility of women and girls. She stressed that Scotland had become the first country in the world to make sanitary products free for all and that had been in effect since August, 2022. She, therefore, backed the calls by civil society organizations to government to scrap the 20 percent tax on sanitary pads.

During the mock parliamentary debate, the Member of Parliament for Science Central Constituency-UCC, Hon. Jonas Awaliga, bemoaned the case of sanitary pads being expensive for a “natural phenomenon” as opposed to other products which could be purchased by choice.

He also called on govern­ment and its affiliate organisations to come up with well-structured programmes and policies that would support corporate insti­tutions and private individuals with innovative ways of produc­ing low-cost, biodegradable and reusable sanitary products to ease the financial burden menstruating women faced.

The MP for Ayensu Constituency-UCC, Hon. Camara Musah, in his view, emphasised the need to make sanitary prod­ucts not just accessible but also affordable. He said this would particularly help women and adolescent girls in rural dwellings and protect their education. 

The House presided over by the ‘Speaker’, Rt. Hon. Edmund Osei-Wusu, deliberated on issues including the need for children with childhood cancers to be treated under the National Health Insurance Scheme.

 

Call to Protect Ghana’s Peace

Speaking after proceedings of the mock Parliament, the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Andrew Asiama Amoako, noted that Ghana's current stability did not make the country immune to political violence and called on Ghanaians to jealously protect the peace in the country.

Mr. Amoako, who is also the Member of Parliament for Fomena, called on religious leaders to pray fervently for the leadership of the country and implored Ghanaians to guard against acts that posed a threat to the democratic stability the country is currently enjoying.

The Second Deputy Speaker congratulated the framers of the Fourth Republican Constitution, saying it had been useful for building a better and peaceful Ghana.

Other Members of Parliament (MPS), including the MPs for Cape Coast North and South, Kwamena Mintah Nyarku and Kweku Ricketts Hagan, repectively took turns to thank Ghanaians for safeguarding the country's nascent democracy and asked that it should not be compromised.

The MP for Awutu Senya West, Gizelle Tetteh-Agbotui, underlined the need for more participation of women in the public discourse.

The honourable Central Regional Minister, Mrs. Justina Marigold Assan, commended Parliament for the many bills passed and others repealed since its inception 30 years ago. 

The Dean of Students Affairs, Prof. Eugene Marfo Darteh, pledged his commitment to ensure the Students' Parliamentary Council's growth and sustainability, as well as the realisation of its potential. He said the Students' Parliamentary Council had been added to the constitution of the SRC as a legal institution in the University.

"Now the Students' Parliamentary Council exists legally and will be allocated budget to finance its activities" he added.

The forum was attended by religious and traditional leaders, civil society groups, workers’ unions’ representatives, security agencies and students.

CIUCC holds Industrial Lecture for Students

09 Aug, 2023 By DIS

The Confucius Institute, University of Cape Coast (CIUCC) has held an industrial lecture for its students to equip them with the needed knowledge to stay relevant on the job market.

The event, which saw in attendance the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Prof.

Kwabena Sarfo Sarfo-Kantanka; the Ghana Director of CIUCC, Prof. Emmanuel Amoh Ofori and the College Registrar of the College of Humanities and Legal Studies, Mr. Ebenezer Aggrey, had two Chinese accomplished Ghanaian industry players addressing the students. The two, Madam Yang Yang, Founder and CEO of Zonda Tec and the Human Resource Manager at KEDA Ceramics Ghana Limited, Luo spoke on “Women Empowerment in Chinese Enterprises” and “Understanding Chinese Business Culture and Etiquette: Keys to Succeeding Enterprises” respectively.

Welcoming participants to the lecture, the China Director of CIUCC, Prof Ou Yamei, indicated that building successful individual entrepreneurial ventures was partly hinged on entrepreneurs taking a cue from the success stories of developed and accomplished companies. She maintained that the lecture was to expose the students to the world of business and the skills needed to stay successful.

Speaking on the topic, “Understanding Chinese Business Culture and Etiquette: Keys to Succeeding Enterprises” the Human Resource Manager at KEDA Ceramics Ghana Limited, Luo Yan, said the Chinese thrived on hard work, social networking, maintaining a peaceful surrounding and making good impressions.

She said the Chinese had a common understanding that working diligently and bracing all odds to achieve set goals and targets was crucial to growing their enterprises.  She added that being sensitive to one’s surrounding, punctuality, building a credible personality as well as gaining the art to negotiate within the business terrain were some of the concepts inculcated into Chinese enterprises.

On her part, the founder and CEO of Zonda Tec, Ms. Yang Yang, counseled the students to devote themselves to their work and pursue excellence in that regard instead of concentrating on the gains they stand to make.  She further indicated that being a good leader and setting the pace for others to follow were key attributes every entrepreneur should have.

Ms. Yang noted that budding entrepreneurs must take advantage of opportunities around them, have passion to push their entrepreneurial agenda and stay committed and serious.

She was quick to indicate that the world, especially the business terrain, was not the preserve of men only hence, she charged women to position themselves well by researching, taking initiative and communicate effectively while showing respect in order to excel.

The participants were allowed to pose questions to the resource persons during an interactive session. Generally, the students were impressed with the lecture and called for more such educative sessions to build their competencies.
