“Students enjoying free SHS are being bitten by mosquitoes because there is no school building to sit in to learn; they are getting pregnant here and there because when their track ends and they go home, they have nothing to do; that is why we were advocating for infrastructure,” the deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Otokunor said.
Peter Otokunor was reacting to recent comments made by President Akufo-Addo regarding the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
The President, while addressing staff and students of the Bolgatanga SHS, said: "this policy has come to stay. I know that there are people in this country who don't want this policy, who have been campaigning against this policy and they are dreaming that they are going to come back to power to cancel the policy."
His remarks has generated a lot of reactions especially from the opposition NDC who feel President Akufo-Addo’s attack on John Mahama is unnecessary.
Adding his voice to the debate in an interview on Neat FM, Otokunor feels ‘Akufo-Addo has lost touch’ with issues because Mahama and the NDC have never opposed the Free SHS policy.
“He is not in touch with the reality in this country; he is completely out of touch because NDC has continuously indicated that we will review the free SHS policy. Never had we said we were going to scrap it . . . so if those around Akufo-Addo will not wake him up from his slumber, we will . . . " he said.

Otukonor's face with his TEETH is deterring people from joining NDC. Most Ghanaians are scared of his face with his abnormal TEETH.

Eiiiiii. Is NDC a serious party at all? A whole registrar of a party school talking like this. Doesn't he know that in academia, as a registrar of a party school, his ideas and thought represents the ideological beliefs of the NDC party? By talking like this it clearly shows that the NDC sees the free SHS as a bad policy and will therefore cancel it when they come to power. Meanwhile your presidential candidate is going round to say the free SHS policy is a very good policy hence he will not cancel it when he comes to power. So now who should we believe? Asem ben koraa ni. I am beginning to think that Nana Addo intentionally made the statement he made as a trap for the real intention of NDC to be exposed.
Sometimes when you hear comments being made by some leaders of NDC it does not surprise you that they are in opposition. How can fresh breed pregnancy? Some of these leaders are just ***barred word***.They want to do everything to discredit the free SHS, but it will fail. That is the reason why they will never be given the mandate to come back to power to destroy it.

And you say this people will not cancel FREE SHS when they get power? Ghanafo 'oyiwa'!
