President Akufo-Addo

Come clear on Free SHS funding - Minority to Akufo-Addo
The Minority in parliament has charged President
Nana Akufo-Addo to clarify “whether his
government will use or not use the Heritage Fund
for SHS education”.

This was contained in a press release issued by
Deputy Minority Leader James Klutse Avedzi on
Friday, 17 February.

Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Maafo had indicated that
government may use the Heritage Fund established
under section 10 of the Petroleum Revenue
Management Act of 2011 Act 815 to fund the key
campaign promise of the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
to implement a Free Senior High School system.

However, Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta later
pointed out in an interview with the media that
government would not fund the programme with the
Heritage Fund.

The Minority has said it finds the conflicting
statements from the Senior Minister and the
Finance Minister confusing, needing clarification
from the president himself.
