According to him, women play a very crucial role in governance both at the local or peak of Ghana’s politics; hence a further drop in their active participation may turn to have dire consequences on good local governance.

The MCE, who expressed this dissatisfaction after the Assembly recorded only two women out of the newly inaugurated twenty-five member Assembly, assured that management of the Assembly will in the coming weeks setup an adhoc committee to bring on board some pragmatic policies and a roadmap to help ensure more women participation in politic, especially at the local level.
