Queenstar Pokuah Sawyerr

"So this is a loan scheme and we have an account at the Kwanyako Rural Bank. They can go and check the MPLS, it is there."

"For this year, I should have done it sometime in September, however, because of the Coronarivus disease (COVID-19), I had to do the distribution in bits."

"Last year I did it, two years ago I did it, three years ago I did it and four years I did it though my party is not in power."

"The activity she is engaged in did not start today as the Maame Pokua Loan Scheme (MPLS) has been in operation and supporting women for the past 12 years."

"Three weeks ago when the first distribution was done, members of the ruling NPP went to town and accused me of distributing papers because I had no money."

"The NPP in the Agona East knows of my interventions in the constituency, and therefore their claims that they do not know the monies I am giving out are loans are lies."

"These children do not vote so nobody could accuse me of soliciting votes from them."

"Therefore I decided to take the money along during the second distribution so I could demonstrate to the NPP and those who claimed I had packed papers in the boxes that indeed I am giving out physical cash."
