The Central Regional Minister, Mrs Ama Benyiwa-Doe has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Nana Akufo Addo to tell Ghanaians which aspect of secondary education he intended to make free when voted into power. The Regional Minister said the campaign message of Nana Addo to make secondary education free when voted into power was ambiguous as secondary education was composed of boarding, lodging, tution and many others. �Nana Addo must clear the air on the free secondary education so that Ghanaians are not deceived when he is elected to power, which is very unlikely anyway,� she said. Mrs Benyiwa-Doe made the call at a seminar organized for women organizers in the Gomoa West Constituency at Gomoa Ankamu near Apam on Thursday. She called on members and supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to stop using the media to address grievances as it amounted to washing dirty linen in public. She urged them to use the party structures in seeking redress for their problems. The Regional Minister appealed to Ghanaians to give President Mills another term to enable him to continue with the programmes to build a �Better Ghana.� She said the President had been in power and deserved another chance. Mr Samuel Kweku Adu Yeboah, Central Regional Chairman of the NDC said the party had realized the importance of women in the society and would continue to initiate programmes to better their lots. He urged supporters of the party to fight for things that would benefit majority of people and not individuals. Prof Samuel .M. Quartey, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba, and Central Regional Vice Chairman of the NDC, said good governance was about enhancing the living conditions of the people, saying �this is on course under President Mills administration". He therefore urged the electorate not to change him in 2012 elections. Madam Tina Frimpong, Central Regional Women�s Organiser urged Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives to involve women in their programmes since they were in the majority. Mr Theophilus Aidoo-Mensah, Gomoa West District Chief Executive advised the organizers to embark on house-to-house campaign to correct the misinformation and lies being propagated against President Mills and the party by the NPP to enable the people to know the good work the President was doing. Mr Francis Kodjo Arthur, Member of Parliament for Gomoa West, gave an account of his achievements as MP which he said included connecting the remaining 15 communities in Gomoa West to the national electricity grid, improving conditions of roads and building of schools and health facilities.
