Dr Clement Apaak, Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South has reaffirmed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government's commitment to implementing a free tertiary tuition policy for first-year students.
This follows former Chief of Defense Staff, Brigadier General Nunoo-Mensah's (Rtd) reservations about the party's manifesto promise to introduce free tuition for first-year tertiary students.
Speaking during a stakeholder engagement at the O'Reilly Senior High School on January 15, Brigadier General Nunoo-Mensah (Rtd) emphasised that parents who wish to support their children through tertiary education should be prepared to meet the financial demands of their educational needs.
But Dr Apaak in an interview on Citi FM's Eyewitness News emphasised that the overwhelming support received by the NDC, as evidenced by the substantial gap between President John Dramani Mahama and former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, was a testament to the popularity of their policies. "The magnitude of the NDC's victory in terms of parliamentary seats and the gap between our candidate now president John Dramani Mahama and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former vice president should be a testament that this among many other worthy and accepted policies accounted for the overwhelming support that we have received," he stated.
