Private legal practitioner, Nana Obiri Boahen, has criticised President 's initiative to distribute free sanitary pads to female students in basic and secondary schools.
Speaking on Original TV on May 9, 2025, he chastised President Mahama, stating that the free sanitary pads to female students does not constitute a meaningful achievement.
He slammed the president for focusing on what he described as trivial matters instead of addressing the broader and more pressing issues Ghanaians are facing.
Obiri Boahen, speaking on President Mahama's 120-day social contract, referenced developments in other countries, specifically, Burkina Faso's military leader, Ibrahim Traoré, who he claims has made tertiary education free to ensure accessibility for all students regardless of financial background.
