Actor cum politician, John Dumelo has punched holes into the NPP’s much-touted Free SHS policy by suggesting it’s a scam because nothing shows it’s free.
In his opinion, the government cleverly increased taxes in the country astronomically so that parents instead of paying school fees used those monies to pay their taxes; an indication that Senior High School Education is not free as being touted by the NDC.
”Free SHS is not really free as they claim because we pay indirectly through different sources, there is nothing like Free SHS,” he said.
The aspiring MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency said, in any case, the government could have waited and built more schools, expanded the infrastructure of the various Senior High Schools across the country, train and equip existing current teachers and also employ more teachers before implementing the policy because currently, people have lost trust in Secondary school education in Ghana.
“Lots of Ghanaians have lost trust in the Free Senior High School Education because the government has exchanged quality for quantity, the system is about enrolling the masses and not the quality of education provided,” he told Accra-based Adom FM in an interview.

It is indeed, disappointing to note the type of competence NDC has in its pipeline, which leaves much to be desired. This guy wants Ghanaians to believe that providing the requisite infrastructures before making FHS-Education free would not need spending the tax-payers money. Such baseless political talks to catch the eye of the presidential candidate for future political appointments seem to be symptomatic of NDC's pile of incompetence.
there is nothing free about the freebies you are giving out to the constituents.maybe that is what you mean
You just lost my respect. I have always considered you to be a wise person until this statement. so disappointed.
Please, nobody should mind him. He is so irrelevant in the constituency that he is craving for attention..We do not need extra comedians in parliament we have enough of the Ahis, Akambas and Akandos (the 3A Comedians of the NDC).
Oh, NDC and its actor! The government has exchanged quality for quantity how? Your assessment is based on what? Wait for the results
Gyimituusa talk, we all know that the present government has cancelled over 16 taxes including import duties 50% reduction. Please do not expose your ignorance. Afiafitor, where is the V 8 you attempted to change the features ?
This is empty talk from a failed thiiiief of an actor turned politician. Hmm, Mr Actor, keep living in your acting dream and discredit the reality of the day. Thiiiiief. This is not like V8 which could be given to a mechanic to respray. Good people of Ghana are true witnesses of the free SHS.
From V 8 to lies. This man has no S-h-a-m-e
