The Director of Interparty and Civil Society Relations of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor, says that the NDC administration will rather be concerned about how to fight off moral hazards and corruption that may come along with the implementation 'no academic fees for level 100 students' initiative.
He says the NDC is not about the funding mechanisms because they know how to find the resources to finance the initiative. He says if the government decaps the Ghana Education Trist Fund (GETFund), the GETFund should be able to give the government an amount of 300 million Cedis per year for this initiative. At the moment, he said the Akufi-Addo administration has collateralized the GETFund thereby even affecting the subventions to the universities. To him, if allocation to the student loans trust Fund is imposed together with decapping of the GETFund, the NDC administration will be able to fund the initiative.
