Stop Harassing Headmasters – Mahama Tells NPP Gov’t

Former President John Dramani Mahama has urged the Akufo-Addo government to stop harassing headmasters of schools and solve the numerous challenges confronting secondary education in the country.

Addressing some delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Tempane in the Upper East Region, Mr Mahama said the suspension of the headmaster of Tempane Senior High School because an NDC National Organiser aspirant Joshua Akamba interacted with students there and highlighted their problems in a viral video, does not change the appalling conditions in which the students find themselves.

“The point is, if we want, all of us can go to those schools, and come and arrest all NDC members. I can go to a school, come and arrest me. Do something about the condition in the schools and stop intimidating headmasters and inviting political opponents for investigation”- he said.

His comments come at the back of the government suspending Tempane Senior High School (SHS) headmaster.

The suspension comes after a video captured the Deputy National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joshua Akamba, inciting students of Tempane SHS against the free SHS policy.

Akamaba was heard telling students of Tempane Senior High School in the Upper East Region that president Nana Akufo-Addo and the government must be blamed for bed bug attacks in their school.
