  • 419 promise. We are not fools 1 year ago

    Where are you going to get the money from? You could not even pay teachers and nurses the small allowance, yet you are promising of paying fees for over 500 000 students. This 419 promise will not help you.

  • Afrakoma 1 year ago

    Where from all this stupid 419 promises taking us to. Even America who's wealthy nation doesn't have free compulsory education!
    Already free SHS plus corruption has put us in suffering situation and JM is now talking free te ...

    Mahama is afraid of debate with Bawumia, therefore, he can say and promise without telling the public where he plans to resource his promises. Mahama is corrupt and a liar, he must not be trusted.
