“Students enjoying free SHS are being bitten by mosquitoes because there is no school building to sit in to learn; they are getting pregnant here and there because when their track ends and they go home, they have nothing to do; that is why we were advocating for infrastructure,” the deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Otokunor said.
Peter Otokunor was reacting to recent comments made by President Akufo-Addo regarding the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
The President, while addressing staff and students of the Bolgatanga SHS, said: "this policy has come to stay. I know that there are people in this country who don't want this policy, who have been campaigning against this policy and they are dreaming that they are going to come back to power to cancel the policy."
His remarks has generated a lot of reactions especially from the opposition NDC who feel President Akufo-Addo’s attack on John Mahama is unnecessary.
Adding his voice to the debate in an interview on Neat FM, Otokunor feels ‘Akufo-Addo has lost touch’ with issues because Mahama and the NDC have never opposed the Free SHS policy.
“He is not in touch with the reality in this country; he is completely out of touch because NDC has continuously indicated that we will review the free SHS policy. Never had we said we were going to scrap it . . . so if those around Akufo-Addo will not wake him up from his slumber, we will . . . " he said.

Am a lay man, I don't do polities. Is governing a nation a race? This man the enter NDC team is evil. Ghanaians need to resist from them. If not NPP let's go for PPP. NDC people are very sucider.
the policy is good but so far not good enough
This is the results of politicization of all isues. Haba ?why? why ?I cant believe this analogy coming from the mouth piece of such a person. NDC will do better by banning him from talking about some sensitive political matters
Has this guy been bribed by the npp to spew garba ges so they can laugh at us?NDC need emergency congress to change some of our leaders.
SO WE HAVE SUCH PEOPLE AS LEADERS IN GHANA? OH GHANA!
The jokes are too much, what is the link between fee SHS and teenage pregnancy . When such people like you are given the opportunities at any sector of Ghana what will happen? Grow up and stop disgracing yourself and your party. Gyimiiii no dɔɔso
You're very HORRIBLE Otukuno! This is the reason why many Ghanaians are decreeing like the Jews said NEVER AGAIN to ndc. NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU
My fellow Ghanaians please forgive that Otokonor. He just wants to be heard and we have heard him. That he is just plain ***barred word***,
Another gyimifo). And he calls himself a politician.
I never knew mosquitoes could distinguish or cared to distinguish between pupils before Nana Addo introduced Free SHS and those after. And I how do you equate those sitting at home for lack of money to go to school and those in the track system whose only inconvenience is not going to school continuously because EVERYONE should be given a chance!
