She however urged  Ghanaians  to keep the NPP in power  to secure the Policy since the  Free SHS is a  brainchild of the Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wouldn\u2019t want to run it for just four years, so if you want free SHS to stay then you know the party that is committed to the program ,keep the NPP in power forever to sustain the Free SHS Policy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Eastern Regional Minister, Eric Kwakye Darfuor,  on his part justified that infrastructural challenges in Second Cycle Institutions though  has existed for several decades, an audit has been done to address them.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 48 updated by: 48 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Wednesday, 13 December 2017 Source: Starrfmonline.com 2017-12-13 Funds from the country\u2019s oil and the GETFund will be used to run the flagship policy A deputy Minister of Finance, Abena Osei-Asare, has said funding for the Free Senior High School policy by government is secured for the first four years.
