President Mahama in the heat of the 2012 general elections pledged to build 200 community day schools in his first term. However, he admitted on Monday that he cannot complete all the 200 community day schools he promised, explaining that 123 schools were in various stages of completion confirming perceptions by doubters. “In my next term of office, by the grace of God, we will complete all the 200 new senior High Schools that I promised,” said President Mahama. Mr. Boateng applauding the president’s frankness said “sincerity is missing from our politics which is sad.”Speaking on Starr Chat Wednesday, the man popularly known as Asabee added: “I think for him (president Mahama) to admit, now I admire him for that.” However, he said president Mahama should have thought through the pledge before making it.
