Former National Democratic Congress [NDC] Central Regional Minister, Aquinas Tawiah Quansah has clearly stated that all incomes generated in Ghana will be geared towards only funding the Free SHS policy.
“If care is not taken, all incomes generated in this country will be for no other motive than to fund President Akufo-Addo’s Free SHS initiative, leaving other developmental projects unattended to. This means no roads, clinics, police stations, schools e.t.c. will again be constructed,” he stated.
He made these comments on Kasapa FM’s ‘Anopa Kasapa’ political programme when discussing the MP for Efutu, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin's recent suggestion that the Akufo-Addo administration will soon introduce a new system of taxation to sustain its free SHS policy.
According to him, the specific tax is geared towards ensuring that there is quality education in the country.
“If Ghanaians are paying tax to sustain free SHS, it won’t be farfetched. It will help all of us. There’s a difference between nuisance tax and specific tax for specific purpose that we all know that these are the benefits. Do you think Ghanaians will oppose a free SHS tax where we will set up an implementation Committee to oversee to the transparent disbursement of these funds?” Afenyo-Markin indicated.
But the former Central Regional Minister disagreed.
“I don’t see why government would now want to extract monies from us in an indirect way to fulfill its campaign promise, when he has the rights to make citizens know the actual state of our economy . . . ” Tawiah Quansah stated.

Free SHS will only collapse if Ghanaians make the mistake of voting for the Ndc but tafiakwa! The discerning Ghanaians are the majority so it will be difficult for the Ndc to see power it will be easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than the Ndc coming back. The Ghanaian of 2016 is the same of 2020 and nothing will change for the ndc. Destroy your party by your hate and utterances and we shall help you more to destroy it beyond repairs because Ndc is of no use to Ghana. Your defeat by your so called Oldman has made you depressed and suffering from post election unprecedented humiliated defeat trauma. I don't even think the Doctors have a clue to your illness to help you and it will take God to come to your aid but your arrogance, boisterous nature and idol worshipping won't let you humble yourselves for God's favour hence ndc will be in opposition for over 40 years.
this is a good example of the stuuuuuuuuppppiddity of the NDC. Here is an NDC man opposing education. How fooooooooooooooolish can u be?
ANOTHER DUMP OF AN NDC BI-GOT
With all these low IQ leaders led this country that's why we're where we are now. Folks let's watch these nation wreckers not to vote them to power anytime soon NEVER AGAIN should ndc win power. NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
It is better to use our incomes on education than NDCs bus branding......
NDC HATE STRONGLY THE FREE SHS PROGRAM. THOUGH SOME OF THEIR LEADERS PRETEND TO SUPPORT AND ARGUE THAT SHOULD IN CASE NDC EVER COME TO POWER THEY WOULD SUSTAIN IT. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF THE NDC LEADERS FORGET THEMSELVES AND THE STATEMENT OF OTHER LEADERS AND KEEP ATTACKING THE FREE SHS PROGRAM TO MAKE THE PARTY INCONSISTENT. THE ATTACKERS OF FREE SHS WITHIN NDC UNCONSCIOUSLY REVEAL THE HIDDEN AGENDA OF NDC TO COLLAPSE THE SYSTEM IF THEY SHOULD EVE COME TO POWER. THEY, HOWEVER, FORGET THAT EDUCATION IS THE BACKBONE OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND THAT NO EDUCATION IS CHEAP. THE INABILITY OF NDC TO APPRECIATE THE ESSENCE OF FREE SHS MANIFESTS THEIR INCAPACITY TO DEVELOP THE NATION.
If you bring back all those stollen money, we can pay for the SHS for the future children go to school. You are greedy former ndc ministers
Ei, NDC you HATE all pro-poor policies. Why? You cannot stand the educated Ghananian too! Ghananians should make NDC stay LOOOOONG in opposition!
If all you NDC greedy cr!m.!nals and t.h.i.e.v.es return your shares of the l00ts we will easily pay for the free SHS.... NDC nation wreckers.... We must keep these cr!m!nlas in opposition forever for the betterment of our country
