Position on Free SHS and Galamsey: Akufo-Addo is not listening or sleeping – Mahama
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has jabbed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo regarding the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
President Akufo-Addo had previously challenged Mahama to clarify his stance on key national issues, including the Free SHS policy.
Against this backdrop, the former president, during an address of supporters of the party in Ningo Prampram on Thursday, October 17,2024, has taken a swipe at the president, stating that he had repeatedly expressed his views on the Free SHS policy and the galamsey (illegal mining) crisis.
According to John Mahama the president was either not listening or deliberately ignoring his positions on these crucial matters, which were already well-known and publicized.
Addressing his party supporters, John Mahama said, “He (Akufo-Addo) is not in this country, or he has been sleeping because I have made it clear that there are implementational problems with the Free SHS. One, there is no dedicated funding.”
He continued to add that “Two, parents are also not happy with the double track system. Three, the quality of food the children are being given is not good, and so I have said that the NDC is going to come and fix these three things.”
