  • Mike from Ho. 7 years ago

    This Prf. must stop this nonsense. Who is the rich and who is the poor? Nonsense. Is that what the people were promised for which reason they voted for the NPP? What nonsense is this? I am ashamed of Ghanaian intellectuals.

  • Kanawu 7 years ago

    Who are the poor? That others are able to pay fees does not mean they are rich. It is all loans just for the sake of their children's future. And what if the so called poor have no wards in SHS?
