A member of the opposition National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) communication team and Director of Elections in the Amenfi East Constituency in the Western Region, Sir Ayensu has advised political communicators of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to desist from politicising the Free SHS.
According to Mr. Ayensu, government must welcome ideas from all Ghanaians to make the policy accessible, equitable and sustainable rather than the propaganda surrounding the policy which he believes will help bridge the gap between the literate and illiterate.
The maverick politician on his Facebook page, praised the Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia led government for their bold decision to implement the controversial policy.
He also advised government to consider students accommodation so as to avoid residential issues they face in schools especially those in the boarding houses.
Mr. Ayensu pleaded with the CSSPS secretariat to indicate the residential status of students on their placement form to ease the frustrations parents are going through to get hostel for their wards.
He also appealed to government to re-look into its decision to prevent qualified students who completed JHS in 2015 and 2016 from benefitting from the Free SHS policy.

I believe this free SHS is for the benefit of we ALL in Ghana. I do not see why those who completed JHS in 2015 and 2016 should be exempted from enjoying a basic right(FREE SHS) as Mr.Ayensu thinks. The idea of this FREE SHS is to liberate parents of the stress of enrolling their children into the secondary school with regards to finance. Therefore,if a parent is unable to enroll his or her ward into the SHS in the 2015 and 2016 years and now has the opportunity to enroll that child into the SHS freely and they would be denied of this basic right,then what is the essence of the FREE SHS? And I wonder what becomes of those who have completed few years back before 2015 and 2016 and would now want to enroll their wards into the SHS? There must be equity and equality here. Thank you!!!!
NDC is really passing through the worse cos of free SHS. Depression paa ni boi if u people cant stAND IT then leave the country oo cos the best is still on the way coming. With ur 123schools u were talking anyhow and everywhere about those schools u built for defeat in election. What JM couldnt do in 8yrs NAna has done it in 8months.... FREE SHS....ONAAAPO
Kurukukru no gyeai a kikrakikra so be gyeai
NDC is crying maamaaa over free SHS
They should stop politicizing it and do what with it? "religionize it". Had it been the NDC that implemented this free SHS, they would have declared a national holiday to celebrate it. Get the fu*ck off!
