- Mahama threatensFormer President, John MahamaFormer President John Mahama has reiterated his aversion to the free Senior High School (SHS) policy, saying it will come under review if elected as president in 2020. He continued, “I honestly suspect reviewing the free SHS policy means collapsing it. According to Mr. Mahama, who has not hidden his disdain for the policy since the Akufo-Addo administration introduced it in 2017, the double-track system under the free SHS policy does not make sense. Excessive ResourcesSpeaking to NDC supporters in Cape Coast as part of his tour of the Central Region ahead of the party’s presidential primaries, Mr Mahama explained that the introduction of the free SHS policy was ill-timed. Interestingly, the previous Mahama administration, during the 2016 electioneering campaign, trumpeted that he would fully start the free SHS policy if re-elected, raising questions about his sincerity.
