The founder and president of IMANI Africa, , has criticised the opposition (NDC) over its promise to introduce a free academic fees policy for first-year students. According to him, the free tuition promise is not consistent with its promise to review the Free Senior High School programme, which many, including IMANI Africa, support. , who made these remarks in an interview on Joy FM, indicated that the NDC cannot be promising to review the Free SHS programme, which has become a huge burden on the government's finances, while making another educational promise that would also put pressure on the government's budget. He added that any policy that seeks to provide free education should be targeted towards the needy. "There will always be needy people, right? I'm sure everybody would have been needy at one point. With education, I think there's still room for covering a lot more people who definitely need support.
