The running mate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has charged head potters popularly known as ‘Kayayei’ not to allow themselves to be disrespected following jabs from NPP General Secretary, John Boadu, after her nomination.
Speaking during a visit by the minority women caucus to congratulate her following her nomination, the former UCC VC asked the Kayayeis who were present to protect their dignity.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s comments follow assertions Mr Boadu that only head potters will recognize her in public if she decided to take a tour in Accra.
Mr. Boadu made the assertion to indicate that the NDC running mate was unpopular and not recognizable among Ghanaians.
In her remarks, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang further assured of inclusive governance by a future NDC administration.
“I want you to know that your name is not Kayayei, you have proper names, you deserve the respect like anybody else, don’t let anybody disrespect you. Without you, our society will not be what it is.
“Believe that whatever you are doing in whatever category it is as important as any level, so be confident in yourself. If you didn’t get there, let your children be there.”

The free boarding school education is the pathway for the children of the head porters. Why would anyone who was struggling to pay for his or her child and children school fees will decide to vote against Nana Addo because of a woman who said to Nana Addo that"it is impossible to give Ghanaians free boarding school education ". Check the 2012 debate between Mahama and Nana Addo. They will all be played in the course of the the campaign. She became the education minister after the election. Is it because she is a woman she should not be interrogate for the things she said and done?
JANE MENSAH,I WISH YOU CONSULT OKOMFO TO CALL THE SOULS OF ARTHUR AMINSAH AND ATTA MILLS TO KNOW HOW THEY WERE KILLED BEFORE.WHAT A BIG MISTAKE.
John Boadu said "it is only the Kayayie who will ask Jane if she needs them to carry her shopping for her" Okay they are not called Kayayie henceforth they should be called Head Potters. Let us emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. Head Potter is a right word because it is English. Can the Prof tell us how we should call them in a local dialect.
When did you know or realize that our fellow Ghanaians are disrespected? Is it when you became vp elect? Your professorship morals plus accolades are gone cos you have started telling lies.
Kayayei have never paid taxes. It's sheer ignorance or propaganda to claim to have abolished any when there were none. Further, if a person is known to kayayei then it's all the popularity one needs assuming that is the requirement for leadership. Discounting prof. JMO solely on this basis is typical of NPP, only less so than their penchant for insulting non Ashantis, particularly northerners and ewes. Thank God the professor is above both. I wish her well.
Ei Jane, after leaking debate questions to Mahama are you also telling liies? John Boadu never mentioned any Kayaye in his statement. When were you "baptized" into the NDC caucus of liiers?
Npp abolished taxes for these people. That in my estimation is respect. This woman has lost common sense after joining these ndc tieves led by their airbus commander.
Shame Naana Jane , be truthful ,so this is how the NDC will campaign this year ? twisting every statement? John Boadu never said only Kayayei will wave at you, he said NOBODY will wave at you if you walk from Bukom to Makola because you are not popular. If you disagree say so and stop the shameful and discredited strategy of trying to incite kayayeis against your opponent
There are three members of NPP who will send them to opposition because of their posture and high arrogance when granting or talking to people,John Boadu,Ersurla Owusu and Wontumi,if the party don't tame this three in their utterances,the party will suffer a lot
