  • Kwame 7 years ago

    This is typical dwarfism. You haven't even actually implemented the free SHS programme and evaluated to see whether things are working. Yet, you have started claiming credit over your critics.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 7 years ago

    He has to claim credit if he has been able to secure the funds for the program. Shame on his critics. They are the one who shall be the first to register their children and wards for the program.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 7 years ago

    Alright, Zoobe, let us forget about Nana's Free Education and all students in the whole of Ghana pay for their total education. I mean from North, South, East and West. I hope you would like that.

  • GHANA-1 7 years ago

    Ask him where will the funding come from and he will say he doesn't know. Do think free SHS is just for one year? and for the first year students only? the NHIS which Kuffour rushed and implemented carelessly is still facing ...

    You are a typical bushman, but not a gentleman. What has this got to do with "Dwarfism"? You are among the few who are disgracing decent Ghanaians on this forum. Shame on you!!!!Go and learn some good manners.

  • Joana 7 years ago

    Did Kwame ask your dwarf to disgrace himself internationally by plagiarising presidential speeches?

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 7 years ago

    All presidents plagiarize. Some even use titles like Ph.D when they are not. Ask Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah. You can hate Nana Addo but he still remains your president.
