Anita Desosoo’s Approach Is Wrong — Isaac Ansu Diabour Criticizes Calls for Political Replacement

By: Adwoa Nyarko Asiamah

Speaking on Pure FM, Isaac Ansu Diabour, a lawyer, lecturer, and communicator for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has criticized recent remarks by Anita Desosoo, describing her approach as misguided.

He noted that some members within the party are often perceived as opposition figures simply because they speak up on issues affecting national development. According to him, constructive criticism should not be mistaken for disloyalty, especially when it is aimed at improving governance.

Addressing government policy, he questioned the relevance of financial support given to first-year tertiary students, arguing that such funds could be better invested in key sectors of the economy to create broader impact. Drawing from personal experience, he explained that he spent about 15,000 cedis to enroll his child in school, suggesting that the minimum support amount would not significantly determine a parent’s ability to fund education.

Diabour also strongly disagreed with calls to remove individuals from their jobs solely to replace them with party loyalists, describing that approach as unfair and insensitive. He emphasized that he understands the hardship of losing employment in Ghana and believes political transitions should not come at the cost of people’s livelihoods.

He further pointed out that many party members, including himself, have made significant sacrifices without receiving recognition or reward. He questioned whether the current agitation would have arisen if different financial benefits had been received, implying that motivations behind such concerns should be carefully examined.

Diabour concluded by stating that his comments are meant to remind the party of its promises and to encourage a more thoughtful and inclusive approach to governance.
