The Metropolitan Chief Executive of Awutu Senya East, Madam Anita Love Obo Amissah, has showered praise on the incumbent Member of Parliament, Madam Mavis Hawa Koomson.
The MCE posited that the MP has invested a lot in the constituency, impacted lives, and initiated several projects that have enhanced the living conditions of the people in the constituency.
One of the bold initiatives the MP, she stated, has rolled for years is the loan scheme, which comes with no interest.
”Hawa Koomson is a formidable woman. She has done exceptionally well for the constituency. The interest-free loan she has been offering in the constituency for years has had a significant impact. As a result, I would like to encourage those who have benefited to pay when the time comes so that others can benefit as well. Obaatanpa has done really well. She is performing well since her administration is in office, therefore we will encourage voters to vote for her, and as they do, they should remember Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. He is ranked first on the ballot. His policies are widely recognised.”
She stated that one of the threats that Mahama’s victory poses is the continuation of the free senior high school policy.
According to her, the former president’s promise to review free SHS lacks clarity and will pose significant challenges to the country.
”His policies are widely known. Dr. Bawumia has pledged digital jobs if elected. He has promised digital jobs to the youth. He is promised a credit score system similar to those used in other countries, and we are also voting to protect free SHS. The NDC and Mr. Mahama promised Ghanaians that they would review the free SHS. What is the definition of review? There is no clarification. Will some pay while others claim they cannot afford to do so? When this happens, SHS will no longer be free. Mahama has previously opposed free SHS and promised to use the 2 billion for other purposes.
However, he abruptly reversed his position after learning that Ghanaians were applauding the President for implementing free SHS. Eii Breda, what are you saying? We know who originated free SHS. Without free SHS, some Ghanaian children would not have been able to attend Mfantsipim, Wesley Girls, and other A-List schools. Mahama hasn’t changed. If we want someone to run the country, we don’t have to return and bring back Mr. ‘dumsor’.
