EVER SINCE SOME FACTIONS DESCENDED ON HIM AS RUDE, AND SPILLING NONSENSE ALL THE TIME, FIIFI HAS COME OUT A CHANGED MAN. HE IS THE ONLY POLITICIAN IN GHANA NOW WHO STANDS IN THE MIDDLE AND I WISH OTHER GHANAIAN POLITICIANS WOULD FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE. HE IS THE ONLY POLITICIAN WHO IS ABLE TO SPEAK AGAINST HIS PARTY;S POLICIES IN THE COUNTRY NOW. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE READ FROM HIM DIFFERING WITH HIS PARTY. NO POLITICIAN IN BOTH NDC AND NPP HAS BEEN SUCH BOLD. MAYBE ANOTHER NELSON MANDELA AND A FUTURE PRESIDENT IN THE MAKING. KEEP IT UP FIIFI. I BELONG TO NPP AND NOT YET YOUR FUN THOUGH, I AM BEGINNING.

Ghanaian politicians will promise heaven on earth when they want to get power. All along, Kwertey knew the one time NHIS insurance was not possible, yet supported it and helped campaigned on it. Free education up to SHS level is possible and have always defended it. It is possible when students at such schools attend as DAY STUDENTS. Those who go as BOARDING STUDENTS must pay for their BOARDING AND LODGING. If Free SHS has worked in the regions up in the North of Ghana, why can't it work at the south.
If Patients are made to make some kind of reasonable co-payments, and made to pay for part of their medication outside the hospital at a pharmacy of their choices, the rot at the NHIS will be curtailed. As at now, it all free chop at the NHIS. As people are made to make co-payments, there can be little KULUULU at the hospitals.

Did it take this minister that long to realise that what NDC promised was a mirage? Even the rich developed societies cannot offer one time premium payment for health care to their citizens let alone poor Ghana. Only fools believed that.

The free secondary school education is achievable because the cost is far lower than the one time health care premium which involves the whole population. The free secondary education on the other hand will cover only those who actually have a place in secondary education and not even the totality of the Ghanaian youth. He is comparing oranges with apples in the usual Ghanaian politics of equalisation between NDC and NPP and that will not wash with some of us.

This is not surprising because no Ghanaian believed you anyway. We are all aware what you do best is LYING. Your credibility is ZERO.

I'm surprised that this integrity level of a person remains a minister still and an mp.. He blows hot and cold..
(A) you promised one time premium for life which to the sound mind would not be workable , when in opposistion.. six years down the line having secured mandate of the people, you realise it is UNREALISTIC..Anyway I give you some credit here in (A) because you now have courage to accept, but then again i should say YOU MUST BE A BLOCKHEAD OF A GRADUATE AND A DISGRACE TO INTELLECTUALS TO TAKE THIS LONG TO COME TO THIS REALISATION... Great leaders must be great thinkers and even though fallible they may be, it should never be in such a simple case as this...OOOOFU KAKADOODOOO!!!
(B) NPP promised free SHS which you campaigned against... they are not yet in power to try it.. your NDC has not tried it.. yet you picked this CONJECTURE(proposal by NPP for free SHS) and tried to match it with a REALITY(your NDC'S sudden realisation of the absurdity of a one-time premium payment)>> here in B, we see a clear stupidity, selfishness that blinds a fanatic....Here again for failing to see that this comparison is not equally footed makes you unworthy of a leadership role.. YOU JUST LACK THE BASICS FOR THINKING!!!!!!!!!

Fiifi Kwetey, if you and your NDC lack commonsense, some people do not. The fact that you cannot implement something does not mean no one can. It all requires good thinking and vision. When Kufuour was in power, this NHIS was functioning properly so, what went wrong under your party that is full of clueless and incompetent people?

You lied to win the election but now you are being exposed due to lack of commonsense in governance. NDC has no clue about how to govern. Pure and simple.

Waste of Tax payers funds.
A Country without a single Social benefits for the people,how many times in a year do you expect payment. A Country always making life unbearable for her own people (the weak and vulnerable.

Who told you that! Propaganda kids.
If govt would eliminate waste in the systems, reduce Corruption to it's lowest ebb,plan well on paper,do things the rightful way so as not to pay Judgments debt,some Ministers of State and some Chief Executives would desist from Stealing govt funds etc etc, Freehigh Sch education and free health care
could be possible in Ghana.
Know that it's not propaganda that govern a
Country.It's the truth and rightful decisions
that rule a nation.So,things like "if you see a
Cow from the.other side say it's a mouse.
Ghana had lost 2.5b because of elections
petition and allied lies,is not the wayfoward.
And increase,increase,increase in prices of
every Sevices,items and commodities in the
Country is not the answer.The answer is what I had already stated above.
Leadership in the Country should be
humanely to appreciate the suffering of the
majority of the people and desist from
painfully increases all in the name of revenue
generation.
In the advance Country people force to win
elections or hold public office to be able to
legislate to help the poor,weak and vulnerable in Society.While in Africa public office is used
to increase the economic burden of the
majority poor in the Society,and no one in
govt Care a hoot about it.
Whether you like it or not that is one of the difference between a Whiteman and most black African Ghanaian leaders,with exception of Kwame Nkrumah and Kuffour. I mentioned Kuffour because he economically empowered traders,market women,and other small businesses which is the engine of growth with open avenues for Capital.And is a gospel truth.(I'm not a NPP supporter).

where was Fiifi Kwetey when the late Atta Mills made the said promise? is this a reward to the late president or what? One would have not expected to hear this from Fiifi Kwetey, the almighty propagandaman. If prof and NDC could not do it or forfeit thier promise, that does not mean anybody connot do it as you refered to Nana Addo on his free SHS education. Wait and see when NPP comes to power either with Nana ADDO or Allan Cash.
