Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the leader of the NPP Members of Parliament Caucus, took a bold stand against the NDC MPs. Apexnewsgh reports
He publicly accused them of manipulating the current parliamentary dynamics to block the passage of the highly anticipated free Senior High School (SHS) bill. According to Afenyo-Markin, the NDC’s primary objective isn’t just to stall the bill, but to collaborate with the Speaker of Parliament to ensure it never sees the light of day. He warned that if the NDC were to win the upcoming election, their plans could include scrapping the program altogether.
Afenyo-Markin expressed deep concern over the NDC’s approach, suggesting their actions stem from a desire to discredit the free SHS initiative, a program that has provided educational opportunities to countless Ghanaians, even amidst economic challenges. He spoke highly of the reforms enacted by the Education Ministry under the guidance of two dedicated ministers, Dr. Matthew and Dr. [Name], praising their efforts to enhance the education sector.
This heated exchange comes amid growing tensions between the NPP and NDC, which have escalated recently. The situation was further complicated when Speaker Alban Bagbin declared four parliamentary seats vacant, inadvertently shifting the majority in favor of the NDC. In response, the NPP has chosen to boycott parliamentary proceedings while awaiting a definitive ruling from the Supreme Court regarding these developments.
As the political landscape shifts and tensions rise, the fate of the free SHS bill hangs in the balance, with both sides poised for a fierce battle in the coming days.
