Ms Rita Etornam Sey, the founder of Inspire Today Foundation who claimed that some girls of Northern Ghana resort to the use of clay as a substitute for sanitary pads due to extreme poverty and deprivation have been ordered by the Upper East Regional Women’s Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to prove her ‘wicked lies’ or face the consequences.
The NDC Upper East Region Women Organiser, Ms Fawzia Abagnabama Yakubu, signed a press release requesting that Ms Etornam Sey apologize within seven days using the same media she had used to make the allegations.
“Such wicked falsehood is an affront to the dignity of northern girls. Hence, we demand proof of such claims or an unqualified apology via the same platform and means within 7 days she used in peddling such falsehood.
Anything short of the aforementioned demands, we shall advise ourselves accordingly,” the release said.
Ms Sey has come under a storm of criticism after social media about videos of her claiming some girls in parts of Northern Ghana use clay as a substitute for sanitary pads. Many criticized her for omitting to describe the location and method of the practice in Northern Ghana.
