When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has said the Akufo-Addo government has no intention of touching the Heritage Fund to bankroll the Free Senior High School policy.
“We are not going to touch the Heritage Fund to be able to support the free SHS education,” Ofori-Atta told Accra-based Joy FM.
Mr Ofori-Atta’s clarification follows a comment by Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo that the government may rely on the oil kitty to fund the Free SHS policy.
Mr Osafo Marfo stated at a forum in Accra on Tuesday 14 February that: “We have to make an amendment to say that X per cent of the Heritage Fund, or the Petroleum Fund will be used to support second cycle education. If we think that industry requires a certain stimulus that will enable jobs to be created and you are creating a job to build Ghana, you can look at it and put in a certain amount. We are [also] looking at agriculture.”
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo recently assured Ghanaians that his government “will fund the cost of public Senior High Schools for all those who qualify for entry from the 2017/2018 academic year onwards”.
Spelling out the details of the policy, “so that no one in Ghana is left in any doubt”, President Akufo-Addo explained: “By Free SHS, we mean that, in addition to tuition, which is already free, there will be no admission fees, no library fees, no science centre fees, no computer lab fees, no examination fees, no utility fees; there will be free textbooks, free boarding and free meals, and day students will get a meal at school for free.”
The president added: “Free SHS will also cover agricultural, vocational and technical institutions at the high school level. I also want to state clearly again that we have a well thought-out plan that involves the building of new public senior high schools and cluster public senior high schools”.
President Akufo-Addo made this known on Saturday, February 11, 2017, when, as the Special Guest of Honour, he delivered a speech at the 60th anniversary celebration of Okuapeman School.
On Thursday, the Minority in Parliament said it will resist the use of the Fund to fund the programme scheduled to start in September this year.
“We join the overwhelming majority of Ghanaians and civil society groups to register our strongest disapproval and objection to this idea. We wish to state emphatically that we shall resist any attempt to amend the Petroleum Revenue Management Act. …A lot of thinking and consultation was put into this Act which was led by the Finance Ministry. International development partners were consulted and lessons were drawn from the best practices in oil producing countries the world over. The Act is a product of national consensus and has both executive and legislative approvals,” former Deputy Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson told journalists on Thursday, 16 February at a press conference organised by the Minority in parliament.
Meanwhile, policy think tank IMANI Africa’s Patrick Stephenson has said Ghana needs about $600 million per annum to fund and implement the Free Senior High School programme introduced by the Akufo-Addo government.
Speaking to Moro Awudu on Class91.3FM’s Executive Breakfast Show on Thursday, 16 February, on the proposed means of funding for the programme, Mr Stephenson said the “total proceeds that we have sitting in the Petroleum Fund now – some rough computation suggest we have a little over $300 million. How much do we need to invest in free education annually? Rough computations suggest something in excess of $600million if we have to do it right and do it well. Now if you decide to go and take the resources out of your Petroleum Fund, clearly it still doesn’t fix your entire financing problem that you need and all of that is gone in just a year. Not that it’s a bad thing in itself, you should be able to demonstrate, for example, that it’s going to be sustainable for the long term and whatever they are putting in there goes in there, but we haven’t heard all of these things.”
The Ghana Heritage Fund was established in 2011 by Section 10 (1) of the Petroleum Revenue Management Act, 2011 (Act 815). It is meant to serve as an endowment for future generations. It is not supposed to be touched until after 15 years of its establishment.
Each year, nine per cent of oil revenue is deposited into the fund. According to figures from the Bank of Ghana, in the first half of 2016, the Heritage Fund received US$5.79 million while the Stabilisation Fund received US$13.52 million.
In the second half of 2016, Heritage Fund received US$6.85 million, while the Ghana Stabilisation Fund received US$15.99 million.
As of December 2016, the Heritage Fund had accrued US$262.57 million, making up eight per cent of total revenue from oil proceeds distributed to the Petroleum Holding Fund (PHF) and the Ghana Petroleum Funds (GPFs).
The Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA) received a total of US$1,473.45 million representing 43 percent of the total revenue while the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) received a total amount of US$1,057.30 million equivalent to 31 percent of total revenue.
The Ghana Stabilisation Fund (GSF) received an amount of US$633.87 million (18 per cent).

Pardon me guys, It is reasonable or fair to persuade Ghanaians to vote for npp into power on a pretext of providing free education to all citizens. What the govt has failed to exposition is the education model, and how the program shall best serve the nation. The govt should come out with a specific formula for funding the entire program. It is highly impossible to roll out a high rise program, without having a specific formula to use and apply or to equally serve citizens in the country. It will be reasonably unfair on future generation whose money is going to be spent unwisely by npp dwarf and his team of miscreants. The npp guy's are going to loot and share the fund among themselves, after they have been stayed in opposition for long time.Theoretically, free education is not sustainable and achievable.

Do we have men and women with brains and wisdom? Why the so called phd's cannot think beyond their nose? Ghana is far behind when it comes to education, even up to the basic level. Why can't we educate today's generation first? By the time the unborn generation arrives, they will come and meet a dummy and ignorant group and that can affect their directions as well.
Use whatever money available to educate our children today and do not sacrifice them for an unborn generation. Dummy Ghanaians! Are you listening?

I am sorry but Dr Ebenezer Hayford is one of these intellectuals who when God was giving Common Sense for free refused because he viewed it as common. I am sure he is a product of Nkrumah's egalitarian educational policies? And if not the British? In the 1950's just before Independence Kwame Nkrumah's CPP was spending 54% of the country's annual budget on education. Mission SHS were adopted by the government for financial support and COCOBOD funded the Educational Trust Secondary Schools. Through this scheme and policies, children of peasants like myself got an opportunity to attend SHS. Fortunately the investments Nkrumah made in SHS education have been repaid many times by the beneficiaries of the policies who ended in diaspora. Ghanaians in diaspora , most of who were beneficiaries of Nkrumah's policies have been sending over 3 billion a year to Ghana annually. Free SHS is an important strategic investment and we must crush all who oppose it.
This argument about sacrosanct Heritage Fund for unborn children is laughable and without intellectual merit. If we care about the unborn, why do we need oil money to fund a Heritage Fund? Singapore has no oil money but they have a Sovereign Fund similar to our Heritage Fund. They Fund it through taxes and surplus export earnings! We do not need an oil money to have a Heritage Fund. We just have to save and do that through setting aside some % of our earnings from Cocoa, mineral and other exports. Besides in my mind setting up a fund outside the country in low interest earning instruments is dumb financial management. We should rather stop going for all these Euro and Dollar bonds at 8% to support the Cocoa industry and borrow the Funds in the Heritage Fund and pay ourselves 8% instead of paying foreign investors 8% for our Euro/Dollar bond floats?
And for the dim witted intellectuals and NDC politicians , what do you think parents who are now paying SHS fees will do with their freed school fee expenditures when the program starts in September ? They will naturally spend it. invest it or save it in a bank which will stimulate the economy ! It is like giving everyone a tax cut. This SHS program will have such an immediate stimulative effect on our struggling economy especially for agricuture ( school feeding,agro- based industries and employment) . The multiplier effect in our economy would be huge. This is in addition to the fact that the future parents of unborn children would be better educated. In other jurisdictions in the developed world education to the SHS level is free and is funded through taxation. It is all a matter of priorities. Again countries like Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea have no oil or mineral wealth but have free education for its citizens through SHS. This Hermitage Fund idea from oil is a stupid idea. if we must set up such a fund then, then lets fund it through Cocoa, and Mineral exports as well. Those who think the Heritage Fund will be there for the unborn generation should look at how successive governments have managed the Social Security Fund for workers retirement ? We must top the silly dreaming. Dreams are for those who sleep. Lets think smarter. The rest of the world will leave us behind if we listen to the likes of Ebenezer Hayford.

Instead of thinking about what exists you're thinking about the non-existence. Don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will think about itself. They all belong to the corrupt and the losers party. ABEN NO BEBOM VERY SOON.
We should not think about tomorrow? No wonder Africa can't develope. People like you will live any life today and become a liability tomorrow. No planning.
