    You should be intelligent enough to understand that the SHS policy should cater for only the poor and vulnerable people in the society and not for the rich.

    That's his opinion, but I don't think there should be discrimination on freeSHS policy. If it's free it should be free all. Akufo-Ado, ministers, and MPs are paid because of their service to the nation like any other employee ...
