The New Patriotic Party’s campaign promise of initiating a Free Senior High School policy for students in Ghana has come to pass.

The educational policy that keenly contributed to the snatching of power by the NPP from the erstwhile Mahama government saw the light on Tuesday, September 12 when it was launched at the West African Senior High School (WASS) at Adentan in the Greater Accra Region.

Following this fulfillment which has seen most parents beaming with smiles at the news of taking their wards to school at no cost, the President, Nana Akufo-Addo has been lauded for taking the bold move to launch the programme within a limited time despite the backlash it has received.

The latest to join the tall list of stakeholders in the art industry commending the president is Kumawood actor, Yaw Adu popularly known as Sunsum.

The actor who made an appearance on RTV, Wednesday, September 13, lashed out at Akua Donkor who has joined skeptics who have bet their last dollar that the free SHS policy will collapse.

The failed presidential candidate on Accra-based Neat FM claimed the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) stole her idea when she was prevented from contesting the elections by Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Charlotte Osei.

“Nana Addo and his cohorts stole the free SHS policy from me in the 2016 elections and now he is implementing it. I can state authoritatively that this policy will not see the day of light. It will not work because it was stolen from me” she added.

The actor quizzed why she made those comments on the back of a positive initiative.

Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to embrace the policy and support it to succeed, maintaining that: “The policy is not about the NPP or the NDC; the beneficiaries will not only be NPP sympathisers; they will be Ghanaians”.
