NDC’s ‘Reset’ Plan Means Ending Free SHS And Returning To ‘Dumsor’ – NAPO

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the 2024 election, has stated that former President John Mahama aims to cancel the free SHS policy and bring back power crisis (dumsor) should he win power.

He stated that the promise by Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, to reset the country on the path of progress, would derail the gains made by the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration.

“The NDC’s reset means cancelling the Free Senior High School (SHS) social intervention policy and taking the country back to the gloomy days of ‘dumsor,’” myjoyonline.com quoted him as saying during a campaign rally at Toase in the Ashanti region on August 27, 2024.

He said the NDC’s 2024 manifesto inspires no hope but rather threatens the progress of the country.

The NPP running mate indicated that the NDC, and particularly former President Mahama, should not be given another chance.

“Under the watch of former President John Mahama, the country suffered a severe power crisis, also known as dumsor in the local parlance, for four continuous years. Total mismanagement and bad leadership by John Mahama led us into that hardship, so we shouldn’t give him another chance to restore dumsor.

“The NPP, after assuming office in 2017, implemented better policies to effectively deal with the power crisis once and for all,” he added.
