" I do not like free things, anything free is not valued " he continued, " I want to pay for the education of my children, if you make education free the citizens will eat free, sleep free and fail free". This were the words of John Bagbara, a communications spokes person for the Peoples National Convention ( PNC) on Radford FM yesterday. He was responding to whether the NPP government has implemented its manifesto promises based on which they were elected. He said gradually, the government is achieving its promises but there were some huge problems with most of the promises. Explaining further, he said the NPP government brought planting for foods and jobs which also brought with it fall army worms which has devastated many farms. He said the government also restored the allowances of nurses but has not guaranteed their automatic employment.
Mr. John continued that he saw some pictures on social media where students were being served food on the bare floor in one senior high school. He lamented that if this how bad things are getting, then the government should have rather used the free education resources to build more infrastructure for the various senior high schools in Ghana. He questioned the rationale for implementing a policy when the necessary infrastructure and basic facilities like a place for serving food are not available. He said when you give Ghanaians something free, they will enjoy it free, eat free, sleep free and fail in the long run free. This why Mr. John said he personally doesn't support anything free from government. He rather advised the government to invest the resources they are using for free education to build more infrastructure for the various senior high schools.
Mr. John was speaking on a Tumu based radio station, Radford FM on a current affairs program news review. This is a program hosted every Saturday which engages duty bearers on their responsibilities. It was on this program that he made these submissions on the topic, news for the week.
He also spoke about how the Sissala east district can develop by making circuit supervisors to stay at their circuit centers. He said doing that will cut down on cost.
