Don't allow NDC to come and cancel The Good Policies Of NPP...Veep

The vice president of the Republic of Ghana His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has appealed to Ghanaians not to allow the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in power to review government’s flagship programmes Free Senior High School (SHS) planting for food and Job, 1D1F etc. when it comes into office.

The vice President believes such a move will be ill-advised and will deprive the youth of access to quality education.

“Since I hinted of introducing the Free SHS policy, the opposition gave all kinds of excuses as to doubt its possible implementation. But now, their stance is not clear,” he said while addressing a rally after the New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s Delegates Conference, Sunday.

Former President John Mahama at a meeting with the Ghana National Council for Private Schools (GNACOPS) in October this year announced that he will review the Free-SHS policy within his first 90-days in office if elected in the upcoming 2020 general elections.

The NDC flagbearer cited inadequate consultation with stakeholders in exploring the most effective ways to implement the programme.

But President Akufo-Addo said his predecessor has no plan other than cancelling the programme.

“All they keep saying is that they will review the policy if they come to power. Is ‘review’ a policy? For someone who said it was a bad policy, their claim to review it only means cancellation. We will not allow them to come and cancel the Free SHS policy,” the President said.

The President also called on Ghanaians to support his government to continue to implement its numerous initiative to help improve the human resource capital of the country.

AFTER YEARS OF MINING IN AKWATIA – GHANA’S NEW ARTIFICIAL LAKE, THE ASUBONE STORY AND OUR TOURISM DRIVE ABSTRACT.... H. BRAKO Diamonds were first discovered in the Gold Coast Colony (Ghana) near the Birim River close to the town of Abomosu in 1919. The Birim diamond discoveries led mining companies to invest along that river. However, not until 1929 did organized diamond mining begin following additional diamond discoveries made by Ghanaian prospectors in the gravels of Bediebewu streams near Tarkwa. In 1924, the Consolidated African Selection Trust (CAST) was formed and became the major diamond mining company in Ghana. Over 2 million carats were mined by CAST from 1924 to 1939. CAST’s early success led to investment in other diamond exploration and mining ventures in West Africa particularly in Ghana – resulting in the establishment of Great Consolidated Diamond (GCD). 1n 1963 Lake Asubone was created artificially in Asubone near Akwatia in Denkyembour District of Gh...
