Minister of Information, Sheikh Mustapha Hamid has indicated that the fulfilment of the flagship “Free SHS” policy by President Akufo-Addo will go a long way to redeem the image of politicians who are always touted as dishonest and deceit
According to him, the implementation of the Free SHS policy means that President Akufo-Addo wants to bring about change in politics where deception and dishonesty will be a thing of the past.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Mustapha Hamid insisted that President Akufo-Addo has distinguished himself as the first President who has fulfilled a promised many people especially the largest opposition NDC members strongly doubted its possibility.
“President Akufo-Addo wants to bring about change in politics. For now, when you talk about politics in Ghana, deception and dishonesty come into the minds of Ghanaians; or when you talk about political campaigning, people conclude on deception and so for the first time we have a president who has fulfilled a promised many people thought was impossible,” he opined.
He maintained that “I think it will help, moving forward to redeem the image of politicians and also to urge politicians to honour their promises”.
He however expressed his profound gratitude from the members of opposition NDC, confessing the importance and reality of the Free SHS policy which has started today to make every Ghanaian child to benefit from the policy.
“We thank God that President Akufo-Addo has remained persistent and bold enough to implement the Free SHS policy when many saw it to be impossible,” he averred.
He therefore pleaded to all Ghanaians to wholeheartedly support the NPP government in the Free SHS policy; assuring that there will be massive transformation in the country in 20 years if everyone backs the Free SHS policy.
“If all of us will support this Free SHS policy and maintain it, Ghana will see massive transformation in 20 years; this is a good policy for all of us,” he assured.

ONE STEP @ A TIME BUDDY. WISE UP!!!
Is Sheikh Amadu Saint Akufo Addo going to provide jobs after the teeming SHS students complete their education? What is the quality of education is he introducing? Are these free SHS students all going to be admitted free to the universities? Are we creating a free SHS unemployed graduates to the already choked unemployed graduate band wagon? Folks we got to be careful here. These political gimmicks without thinking through can cripple a nation. Sheikh Akufo Addo claims that he will use oil money to fund the project. Looking at the price of oil fluctuation on the global market, a shift in market price or world crises can impact positively or negatively on the price of oil. Does that mean when oil prices are offset it is going to dislocate the free SHS project. Folks let us be careful here. In developed economies, high school or secondary or public education is funded by taxes not reliance on raw materials. Oil is depletable . So in the future when the oil is depleted what happens to the free SHS Project. Are there going to be jobs for these students when they graduate from the free SHS project? or Sheikh Akufo Addo is just going to create massive unemployed graduates. Folks, let us do the maths well and ask the right questions. It is too early to celebrate although the program sounds brilliant on paper.
This orangutan again?
PROPAGANDIST SHEIK, AKUFFO ADDO HAS RATHER DISGRACED POLITICIANS FOR LYING TO GHANAIANS THAT IN SEPTEMBER EVERY SHS STUDENT WOULD ATTEND SCHOOL FOR FREE.SO WHAT IMAGE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT GHANAIAN POLITICIANS? ARE YOU SAYING NANA ADDO IS GOING TO FULFILL ALL PROMISES HE MADE TO GHANAIANS WITHIN THE 4 YEAR IN OFFICE? PLEASE DON'T CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR THE OLD MAN, OTHERWISE YOUR WOULD SPOIL HIS IMAGE AS A POLITICIAN AS BEING DISHONEST AND DECEITFUL. ANYWAY IS FORMER PRESIDENT IS A DECEIT AND DISHONEST.? AWAM SHEIK.
THE NPP ALWAYS COME INTO GOV. WITH PROGRAMMES THAT TEND TO LIFT THE COUNTRY UP.EXAMPLE,LEAP,FREE MATERNAL HEALTH,NHIS,KUFOUR BUS,MODEL SCHOOLS,ECONOMIC GROWTH FOR 8 CONTINOUS YEARS,ONE DISTRICT ONE FACTORY,FREE SHS,ONE VILLAGE AND A DAM ETC ETC PLEASE THIS ARE PROGRAMS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CHANGE THE DESTINY OF COUNTRIES
Well said and God bless you.
Why do you like to joke like that, please go and aske DKM people whether he has redeemed the image of politicians. Go and aske those hea sacked from public sector whether he has redeemed the image of politicians. and pleas electricity is still expensive than rent.
WEELL I DON'T THINK NANA ADDO PROMISED ONLY FREE EDUCATION, WHAT OF ONE VILLAGE ONE DAM, ONE DISTRICT ONE, FACTORY, JOBS FOR THE UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES, PAYING CONTRACTS WITHIN THREE MONTHS. YOU I THINK THE NPP SHOULD BE MEASURED IN THEIR CELEBRATION OF FREE SHS.THAT ACTUAL REDEMPTION WOULD COME AT THE END OF THE 4 YEARS. IT IS TOO EARLY .
