This was in reaction to a news report that 83 Senior High School will delay in reopening as a result of the non-payment of two terms� feeding subventions owed them by the government.

Kwesi Pratt contributing to panel discussion on �Kokrokoo� has bemoaned at how authorities will wait for things to get out of hand before �doing something about it�
According to him, �this issue has gone on for a very long time�This is not a matter of NDC versus NPP. Why is it that we get these problems all the time irrespective of the government in power? Clearly there is a major problem; it is not an issue of politics. The fact that it occurred in a previous administration does not mean it should also occur in this current administration. It is a national problem which has to be discussed�
Kwesi Pratt has suggested that instead of playing politics with the issue those in charge should be disciplined.
�It is time to punish people for doing the wrong thing and making citizens suffer. Heads should roll regardless of any party affiliation�It is time for this country to wake up and it is time for Ghanaians to wake up�There is the need for national reconstruction�getting our priorities right�. He added.
