Member of Parliament of Akim Abuakwa South constituency, Samuel Atta Akyea has criticised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for failing to adequately propagate the free Senior High School (SHS) policy to Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

He questioned why the president after investing hugely in the educational policy failed to give much publicity to the policy.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Citi TV on Tuesday, Atta Akyea labeled the President a \u2018bad storyteller\u2019 for refusing to tell Ghanaians the story surrounding the free SHS.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to him, only a few Presidents can commit to sustaining such a policy, emphasizing that Akufo-Addo has laid down the foundation for the next 20 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think President Akufo-Addo has been a bad storyteller too. There\u2019s no president in this realm called Ghana, who said people should go to secondary school for free. Do you think it\u2019s cheap?<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if it\u2019s not perfect, he has given the foundation for this nation to take off. In terms of serious brain power in the next 20 years. I have never heard any president who said every district should have a hospital, these are not low-cost governance achievements,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
