Audio Attachment: Listen to Fred Agbenyo on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' |
NDC Deputy Communications Director, Fred Agbenyo has dismissed reports that the Akufo-Addo government is successfully rolling out the implementation of their free SHS policy.
The free SHS policy, which has ensured that students benefit from free education in the country; comes as a relief to Ghanaians.
The policy formed a major part of the campaign promises of the governing New Patriotic Party.
The policy which began in September this year has been warmly welcomed by Ghanaians who continue to praise the government for fulfilling its promise.
Commenting on the policy on Peace FM's Kokrokoo, Fred Agbenyo stressed that there are several challenges with the policy and so the government should not pat itself on the back for kick-starting the programme.
According to him, instead of President Akufo-Addo and his government prancing in joy, they should rather admit to the challenges in order to create "credibility for politicians" in the country.
Fred Agbenyo noted that the government has deceived Ghanaians into thinking that they have made education free in the country.
He said "parents will still have to incur some cost. So, that must be made clear…How do you call it free? It’s progressive”.
Listing some challenges fraught with the free SHS programme, he indicated that parents of students in some schools in the Volta Region, will have to cough up monies to "buy one metal trunk. You’ll buy one chop box. You’ll buy one student size mattress. You will buy one pillow and one electric iron…one blanket, one cover cloth, two sets of night gowns. You’ll buy pyjamas, umbrella, rain coat, handkerchiefs, sets of black sandals, white canvass, cutlery” and so forth as their children go to the Senior High School.

one sick young man. The free tuition use your for wifey or girlfriend mobile fees or app so she can see what's happening globally. ***barred word***!
Fred Agbenyo, one of the reasons why NDC is doomed to remain in opposition for the next 48 years. So the government must buy panties for SHS students, right. ***barred word***.
Ndc folks are evil minded diabolic dem0ns.. They just don't care about anything then to win power
Indeed SHS is free.Fred Agbenyoh, If a friend invites you for free lunch at a point X, does it mean he has to incur all expenditure from your house to point X? What you are going to eat is free not any other expenditure. I think NDC is dazed. The coup de gras will be when "one district one factory" is launched.
You want government buy school uniform as well right. Come one ewe man. You brought your kids into this world you have to bear some responsibilities. Don't be greedy
