A member of the communications team for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vera Wiredu, has praised the impact of the Free Senior High School policy led by President Akufo-Addo's administration.
During an appearance on TV3’s New Day program, she highlighted that the policy has exceeded its social intervention objective.
Madam Wiredu pointed out that students who previously had to bring gari to school no longer need to do so because they are well-fed under the policy.
“His Excellency Nana Addo, compassionate, visionary and result-oriented Bawumia, they said whether you are rich, whether you are poor, you are a Ghanaian, go to school; everything is free.
"All you do is get your chop box, the gari is not even compulsory because you are being fed three hot meals a day.
“So, if you go you don’t need gari. I have children, not necessarily personal or biological children in Free Senior High, they take gari and return the gari home,” she stated.
In a comparison between the NPP and the opposition National Democratic Congress, Vera Wiredu highlighted the NDC's track record of poor governance, stating that they do not deserve to return to power.
She reiterated the NPP’s stance that the NDC’s call for a review of the Free Senior High School policy indicates a clear intention by the opposition to cancel the policy if they come into power.
