NPP will soon promise 'free air' – Prez Mahama


President John Dramani Mahama has made mockery of the New Patriotic Party’s free SHS policy, saying the party could soon promise to give free air to Ghanaians.

Addressing NDC supporters in the Afadjato South constituency of the Volta Region, President Mahama stated that it is only the NDC that can be trusted to deliver on its policy on education because it has a track record of delivering in that sector.

He said: "People who just want to win elections just suddenly pop up, out of the blue; you have no track record in delivering on education and just because you want to ‘fool’ the people and win the election you say we will give you free SHS.’’

“How can you promise free SHS when you haven’t finished giving free education at the basic level so that the children of rural poor people can also get at least a basic education? Soon they will promise free transport, free food, free water, then free accommodation, then they will even forget that God has given us air already, they will say free air", the NDC flagbearer added.

He assured that the NDC will be truthful to the people of Ghana."

The President has meanwhile promised to support victims of the Hohoe clashes during which several lives and properties were lost.

According to him, those whose businesses were destroyed would be supported by MASLOC.
