John Dramani Mahama
It was adverse to John Dramani Mahama as he continued to inflame his reputation, which has been in tatters already and has also been validated; he is not a man of utility. He has betrayed that his hunt to become the fanciful president is backed by cynical manipulation of public opinion. During the launch of his party's youth manifesto in Accra, he gamely but brazenly remarked that his government, when elected into power, shall make academic fees gratis for level 100 students'—he hazarded this guess. But out of left field, the NDC enthusiasts want to juggle this pledge on the quirky partisan grounds that, as he meant, he would introduce an enhanced and responsive loan scheme.
This is how the NDC proponents have sabotaged their intellectual probe!
For the sake of ambivalence, I hereby want to reiterate what John Mahama imparted at that event: "We will implement a no academic fees policy at the university for level 100 students'.". Does someone need a knack to decipher such a perceptible statement? These parodies from the NDC followers depict that their flagbearer cannot actualize such a Sisyphean task (as John Mahama himself will say), hence the trend to twist the narrative. It is smart that his own politically congenial people are objecting to the hallucinatory word of their flagbearer; this is momentously unprecedented! The NDC activists know that the ballyhoo they are giving to John Mahama amid this undertaking is puffery.
It isn't cranky for John Mahama to be shonky and perfidious to the electorate. In the round-up to the 2016 general election, he revealed during a mini-rally at Kade in the Eastern Region that, "And so if it is a lie, you include it. We jumble it all together. The truth is there, but we won't say it, but then we will mix it with lies." This particular statement is an augury of his fickleness and his penchant to cozen the citizenry: we won't rectify his terminological inexactitude again, but this time around, we shall brush aside his presidential call ingloriously.
A dude who couldn't accommodate the entire academic fees of day students in SHS is here without a litany of mortification, broadcasting to contain the academic fees of tertiary institutions, whose cost is more than the initial. For the avoidance of dubiety, 'academic fees' are program fees associated with a particular college or department.
A bloke who manfully campaigned to Ghanaians that the implementation of free SHS was'419'and a political gimmick but squandered a whacking Gh¢ 15 million in his so-called guinea fowls business and told Ghanaians without a scintilla of ignominy that all those guinea fowls have flown to Burkina Faso is here apprising Ghanaians of a policy that is obscenely costly than what he termed an unattainable policy. A geezer, who has been intimating that the current economy is scrap and that it would put the next government in a quandary is mouthing to initiate a policy that would cost Ghana an arm and a leg. Doesn't this man need a psychiatric evaluation? He is typically a historic weirdo.
Additionally, the tuition and academic fees for various tertiary institutions are being regulated by an Act of Parliament. Thus, the Fees and Charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2018. In this act, he cannot abrogate the academic fees paid by level 100 students; what he can do is provoke financial changes to that effect, which ought to pass through Parliamentary processes before it becomes operationalized also. Does it mean a new 'Act"' would be on the horizon to restore this one? Mind him, it will be a big budget to draft another act to supervise it.
Everybody knows that policy is a figment of his own imagination, including his own partisans. He cannot continue to hone in on the discerning prowess of Ghanaians with his poxy guarantees. He doesn't have a thoughtfully feasible policy to woo the electorate; hence, his babblings should be grasped.
