Those saying I'll scrap Free SHS are liars - John Mahama

Former President and Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has reiterated his stance on not scrapping the free SHS policy.

Speaking at a community engagement in Gbane in the Talensi constituency in the Upper East Region, the Flagbearer told the people that those saying he would cancel free SHS were liars because he will never do that when he comes into office; moreover, it is a constitutional requirement.

“If anybody tells you JM is coming to cancel free SHS, that person is a big liar. JM is coming to improve the implementation of the free SHS. The free SHS has come to stay, but we are coming to make it a quality free SHS,” Mahama said.

The Flagbearer continued, “I wish to assure you that, when we come, we are going to invest and finish all the abandoned E-blocks and also expand the facilities in all existing schools.”

“We are doing this to stop the double-track system as soon as possible because we cannot afford a situation where our children come home and stay home for three to four months and then go back to school,” he added.

The Flagbearer of the NDC called on the people to vote massively for him and all his parliamentarians so he can earn a majority in Parliament for the implementation of all the policies for a better Ghana.
