Samia Nkrumah: I just want them to read about the man, read his own words and not what people are saying
about him.
Daily Heritage: Was he a pro-feminist? Did he try to promote women in leadership?
Samia Nkrumah: Definitely. He brought a bill which encouraged women to enter into Parliament. There were ten women in parliament then with one representing each region.
Daily Heritage: Do you think the Founder(s) Day debate is necessary?
Samia Nkrumah: It is a very destructive and useless debate at this point of our situation. Sometimes I think if Kwame Nkrumah was looking down, he won’t be happy at us debating on this issue rather than implementing his policies and ideologies.
The debate should be on Kwame Nkrumah’s policies and not on who founded the country, historical facts cannot change.
Ghana was founded on the ideals and policies that Kwame Nkrumah put forward.
Daily Heritage: Thank you for spending time with us
Samia Nkrumah: Thank you for the opportunity.

I completely agreed with her.The debate on the founder is completely useless rather we should promote the policies and good steps of her father.
