Regional News of Friday, 27 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Member of Parliament for Kintampo South Constituency, Felicia Adjei, has strongly condemned what she describes as unfair social media attacks targeting female Members of Parliament over their manner of speaking English. According to Adjei, such criticism ignores the core responsibility of MPs, which is effective representation and service to their constituents rather than linguistic perfection. The Kintampo South MP praised Millicent Amankwa for what she described as strong performance in Parliament and active constituency engagement, noting that she remains one of the youngest MPs in the current Parliament. Madam Adjei further warned that persistent ridicule of female politicians risks discouraging young women from participating in politics, at a time when Ghana continues to push for increased female representation in governance and leadership. Her comments come amid growing national conversations about political communication, inclusivity, and whether fluency in English — Ghana’s official language — should overshadow effectiveness in public service delivery.
