Host of Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kwami Sefa Kayi, has debunked reports that he's calling for the abolishment of the Free Senior High School (FSHS) policy.

Popularly known as the Chairman General, Sefa Kayi believes after nearly 5 years of the program, government and stakeholders in the education sector need to deliberate on fine-tuning certain aspects.

According to him, "I don't understand why after 4 or 5 years of free SHS, it has not been reviewed . . . How can someone who attends Achimota (for instance) and parents stay at East Legon or airport be made not to pay school fees? How? We can make tuition free but charge those at boarding houses.

“All I'm asking is, it's been five years let's do a review . . . My opinion is; pay for tuition, exam fee, library fee etc but those who want boarding school must pay".



However, he has been heavily criticized on social media after some circulated reports that he's asking the government to scrap their flagship programme since it was becoming expensive to manage.

Giving a rebuttal on Monday's edition of his show, the award-winning journalist said: "I haven't said anywhere that Free SHS should be abolished . . . I've asked that after 5 years, let's review it; let's look at the dynamics of it: has it worked? how much money have we spent? value for money audit, where can we cut out . . . but I've never said it should be abolished".
