A heated debate erupted on JoyNews' Newsfile today between the Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, and the Communications Officer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Miracles Aboagye, over the Free Senior High School policy.

During the show, Mr. Gyamfi defended former President John Mahama, claiming that it was under Mahama's leadership, in accordance with constitutional provisions, that the groundwork for the Free SHS policy was established.

He argued that Mahama had initiated the program and had always supported accessible education for all Ghanaians.

However, Mr. Aboagye strongly disagreed. He asserted that Mahama had criticised the policy and lacked any substantial implementation plans.

The debate became particularly contentious, prompting the host, Samson, to intervene after a moment of intense verbal exchange between the two representatives.
