Bawumia ordered to make one Kayayei Samira’s make-up artist

A netizen has challenged Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to let one of the graduates from his Kayayei Skills Empowerment Programme become the official makeup artist for his wife, Samira Bawumia.

As part of his campaign efforts for the December 2024 elections, Dr. Bawumia’s office launched the Kayayei Skills Empowerment Programme to provide vocational training to these women, aiming to empower them and promote self-sufficiency.

The first batch of participants graduated recently after completing a three-week training course in various skills, including soap and detergent making, bead and jewelry crafting, pedicures and manicures, baking, and makeup artistry.

However, one netizen questioned the effectiveness of such brief training, pointing out that makeup artistry typically requires three to six months to learn. To demonstrate the program’s success, the netizen suggested that one of the newly trained makeup artists should be employed as Samira Bawumia’s makeup artist.

She posted: “The way the kayayei makeup artists just use 3 weeks to learn and graduate, in my humble opinion, and renting the brain in Bawumia’s head to make this humble suggestion, they should make 1 of them the makeup artist for Samira Bawumia.”Kayayei Samira’s make-up artist
