Member of the Communications team for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vera Wiredu has touted the impact of the Free Senior High School policy spearheaded by the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration.

Speaking on TV3’s New Day program, she emphasised that the policy has overachieved its social intervention objective to the extent that students who hitherto sent gari to school no longer need it because they are fed well under the policy.

“His Excellency Nana Addo, compassionate, visionary and result-oriented Bawumia, they said whether you are rich, whether you are poor, you are a Ghanaian, go to school; everything is free.

"All you do is get your chop box, the gari is not even compulsory because you are being fed three hot meals a day.

“So, if you go you don’t need gari. I have children, not necessarily personal or biological children in Free Senior High, they take gari and return the gari home,” she stated.

Comparing the NPP to the opposition National Democratic Congress, she stated that the NDC has a proven track record of abysmal governance for which they do not deserve a return to power.

Vera Wiredu reiterated the NPP’s position that the NDC’s call for a review of the Free Senior High School policy equates to a clear intent by the opposition to cancel the policy if given power.
