I have always been saying that academicians in Ghana are very useless. Look, what is the motivation behind Mahama and Nana's free SHS programmes. As for Mahama he wanted something to please Ghanaians in order to win elections at all cost. As for Nana, his vision is that no student should be denied access to SHS because of lack of money. This is what the NPP has been championing, since they believe a lot of BECE holders are qualified but due to lack of money they have not been able to enroll in SHS. This is the problem the free SHS is intended to tackle and so if Nana has started with first year students it is in line with NPP manifesto. After all, second and third year have had access to SHS because their parents could afford that is why they are already there. Those who were qualified but could not go to SHS, and are at home, still have opportunities to reapply to enjoy Nana's free SHS.

Agebsi that is a very good observation.
The NDC party which has no vision were crying wolf,why the budget didn't free all SHS from the fee paying.
But why should the government do that,after all those who are already there can afford the fees.
The idea is to let all Ghanaian JSH students who qualify for the SHS get the opportunity to enroll,and not be left out because of lack of money.
So I think the government is on the right path.

MATRIKI WU-FREE SHS 400 MILLION CEDIS NOT SUFFICIENT BY 800 MILLION CEDIS FREE SHS TO COST $1.2 BILLION (¢4.8 BILLION) A YEAR – KOFI BENTIL The Vice President of IMANI Ghana, Mr. Kofi Bentil has disclosed to GhOne TV that the free Senior High School Program will cost government 1.2 billion dollars a year,i.e 4.8 billion cedis for form one to form three. This postulation according to him stems out of a number of extensive researches that IMANI Ghana has done on the free SHS program. Although, he acknowledged that the free SHS program is doable, he also admitted that it will be an opportunity cost for Ghana. “The free SHS is doable but it means that Ghana would have to cut down on a number of things to roll out this program. But the question is what do we cut? Government must cancel some social intervention programs like the LEAP, GYEEDA, MASLOC among others depending on its priority areas to facilitate the free SHS. We have to also cut down on corruption, tax evasions and deal with all leakages in the system to fund the free SHS,” Mr. Bentil explained. Mr. Bentil recognized that Ghana has what it takes to get the free SHS program running but ruled out the use of the heritage fund and expressed excitement that the Finance Minister, Hon. Ken Ofori Atta has retreated on that consideration. However, he recommended the free SHS program should be progressive as lumping up all the other components together for a full start could pose a challenge. “I believe this program must be progressively free. For example, we can start with SHS 1 for the time being and graduate to the other levels but l don’t think it should cover boarding for now,” he added. In his opinion, if government does not pull up a tight plan to sustain the program it might get stalled along the way. Discussing the funding of the free SHS on ‘State of Affairs’ on GHOne TV, the Project Officer, Civil Society Platform on Oil and Gas, Mr. Chideze Ezekiel also indicated the use of the heritage fund for the fee SHS policy was unlawful and defeats the purpose for its establishment. He also recommended citizen consultation or engagement on how the program will be funded so that the will of the people will not be subverted. “After all, the president said in his inaugural speech that we should be citizens not spectators. So we need to open the source of funding for this program to a national debate for a consensus to be reached for all stakeholders to be happy,” Mr. Chideze argued. He also advised government to graduate the free SHS program from one level to the other while giving serious consideration to access and quality. Both guest on the show, lauded the free SHS policy and urge government not to follow due process to make the program sustainable. Source: Enerst Lartey

The FREE SHS PROJECT will be easy for the
Government of Ghana to execute if our
FINANCES are properly accounted and managed.
Ghana has the money to do that. Do you know
many of our taxes or fees :- basic rates, tolls,
market fees or hawkers fees, licensing fees of
various kinds etc..I tell you, tickets for our
public transportation system have fake ones.
The conductors sell the unofficial tickets more
than the official state tickets. I tell you any
PUBLIC BUSINESS that sells tickets has fake
ones. How can the country raise REVENUE
if this system gods on everyday. The writer jailed
a BUS CONDUCTOR ON KUMASI-OFFINSO ROAD
for SIX MONTHS when the writer was A CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATOR attached to OFFINSO DISTRICT
POLICE HEADQUARTERS MANY YEARS AGO.
The conductors do not act alone it comes from
the ABOVE.Many DUBIOUS DEALS have been going
on for a long time unchecked. And I believe the
system is strongly going on.
To finance SHS would be EASY, if our resources
are protected and properly accounted for.

AGBESI KWESI, YOU CAN'T THINK FAR INTO THE FUTURE. SAME AS 72 YEAR OLD NANA ADDO. FREE SHS WILL BE FREE TO "PARENTS AND GUARDIANS" AT A "COST" TO THE STATE, NOTE I DID NOT SAY GOVERNMENT. WILL STUDENTS WHO DON'T PERFORM WELL IN SHS BE ALLOWED TO REPEAT THEIR CLASS AT AN ADDITIONAL COST TO THE STATE? NO! SO THERE WILL BE MASS PROMOTION THROUGH THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, THE FREE FREE EDUCATION WOULD WEAKEN OUR STUDENTS CHANCES FOR THE FUTURE. GOING BACK FREE JHS IS GOOD AND NECESSARY BUT WHY IS THE PUBLIC JHS WEAK? SEE THE STATE OF THE PRIVATE JHS, WHICH IS FAR FAR AHEAD OF THE PUBLIC ONES, GETTING EVERYBODY INTO SHS IS WRONG. IN EDUCATION ONE MUST BE WILLING TO LEARN, ONE MUST MOTIVATE HIM OR HERSELF TO MEET AND OVERCOME CHALLENGES, WHY NOT MAKE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION FREE AS WELL! NPP'S POLICIES WILL RETROGRESS THIS COUNTRY. I PRAY YOU HAVE LONG HEALTHY LIFE TO SEE. WAIT AND SEE.

Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has hit hard at the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, claiming they did a "useless work". Kwesi Pratt explained that one of the factors that led to the NDC's defeat in the 2016 elections was because the government failed to bring relief to Ghanaians in their budget statements. According to him, the erstwhile Mahama administration was supposed to read a budget that would have a direct influence on the citizens but rather made a lot of "useless" interventions that didn't benefit the population.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.(+233547122212)
