A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team, Alhaji Haruna Halidu, has said the NPP’s free SHS has come off through the visionary drive of former President John Dramani Mahama.
He clearly stated that “the NDC during its term of government built 123 schools out of the 200 promised, therefore the need for free SHS now. The New Patriotic Party [NPP] must credit us at least for our progressively free formula.”
“With this great number of students, how could the NPP have accomplished their promise if we hadn’t built schools? This is why we keep saying we would have by now been at the same level of promises made by the NPP, because our leader wanted to lay down the necessary procedure needed to keep the project active without or less hitches,” he said.
Speaking on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ political segment, Alhaji Haruna Halidu said Ghanaians could bear with him how the NPP is in ‘hot waters’ to fulfill their free SHS policy promised with lots of unexplained conditions faced by agitated parents, when they could have waited to make the best out of the policy at once.
“At present, they will start with many problems because they have no excuse to defend not starting it soon. In fact, some promises are dangerous,” he added.
He said, the NPP within them have regretted promising such a policy since they didn’t look into its future challenges.
“They don’t even have any secure funding to do this neither have they settled on a specific sector that can generate such a fund for the project.”
According to a former NPP Member of Parliament for Bantama Constituency, Henry Kwabena Kokofu on the same show stressed that the NPP never said the free SHS would be glossy like boarding a plane from Ghana to Dubai.
He said parents should exercise patients as they thank and pray to God for the government to implement this system.

WHO SAY MAN NO DEY. A FULL WILL ALWAYS BE A FULL.
There is no such 123 school. Only 43 was targeted and out of the 43 but all was not completed. NDC and lies and propaganda.
NPP conceived the implementation of free SHS as far back as 2008.That idea was without Mahama school block.
what about the SSNIT chop chop, did the NDC make it possible to happen? Nkw@s1@semkwa
I am with the feelings that this NDC guy was going to say something sensible but look at what rubbishhh he is saying. This kind of talk is making NDC unpopular. Even these schools you have put out there, some are more or less ***barred word***. One at Adansi Apagya in Ashanti Region. The queshion is where are the students to feed this huge school. You put this huge building there because of your chop chop . I tell you this new school put out there will yield no purpose
LOOK AT HOW THESE COMMENTATORS KEEP ON BARKING LIKE DOGS JUST CUS SOMEONE IS PRAISING THE EX FOR WHAT HE DID....AT LEAST HE BUILT SOME OF THEM AND THEY WERE MODERN. LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE GOOD AND NOT ALWAYS CONDEMNING. THANK YOU
The "Nation" of GHANA is the winner HERE! Ghana is beginning to know that whether Npp or Ndc or Cpp, or Ppp, or Tpp, or Xyz, etc..., the bottom line is GHANA. We ought to pat ourselves on the back for showing "Political Maturity". One mistake we make as citizens is that we fail to take ownership of our "National Assets". They are not Mahama's, or Rawlings's, or Kuffour's, or Addo's, or Mill's, or Nkrumah's, this or that etc..., These parties and their leaders come in to "administer" the affairs of the Nation of Ghana. Keep Growing.
NDC and lies. I learnt even with the support of world bank you could not complete the 123. They usual saying ' they are in various form of completion' thiiiiieves.
