The Deputy Ranking Member of Parliament’s Education Committee, Dr Clement Apaak, has, once again, exposed the inconsistencies in Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s plans for the Free Senior High School.
The MP for Builsa South in a statement criticized the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration for being dishonest about how they would want the pro-poor policy to be ran beyond 2025.
According to Dr Apaak, the government told the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that it will “review and rationalise the Free Senior High School (SHS) program” yet told Ghanaians otherwise.
” When dealing with the IMF, DMB/NPP say they will review and rationalise it. But, when dealing with Ghanaians, they say they will improve it,” the legislator said in his statement.
To him, Dr Bawumia’s stance about Free SHS depicts dishonesty which must not be countenanced.
“There is nothing bold in saying different things about the same issue to different categories of people or entities. Such conduct is not only insincere and dishonest but cowardly, ” Apaak criticized.
He believes the NPP, led by Dr Bawumia, has no future for the Free SHS hence the government must be booted out in the December 7 polls.
Below is his statement;
On FSHS: When dealing with the IMF, DMB/NPP say they will review and rationalise it. But, when dealing with Ghanaians, they say they will improve it. Here is the evidence!
1. DMB/NPP on FSHS to IMF:
“In the educational sector, we will review and rationalise the Free Senior High School (SHS) program.” Point 47, page 76, IMF Country Report No. 24/30, January 2024.
2. DMB/NPP on FSHS to GH:
“Under my government Free SHS will continue and we will improve upon it”. Point 168, page 69. Ghana’s Next Chapter: Selfless Leadership and Bold Solutions for the Future, February 2024.
One thing is obvious. There is nothing bold in saying different things about the same issue to different categories of people or entities. Such conduct is not only insincere and dishonest but cowardly.
Reject IMPROVE FSHS in the day and REVIEW FSHS in the night. Reject duplicity. Integrity must count. Vote for JM/NDC.
