The Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, has stated that the only way to safeguard the Free SHS initiative is under a future presidency of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the New Patriotic Party.

Speaking to a crowd in the Central Region while campaigning for the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for Gomoa East, Kojo Asemanyi, on November 18, 2024, Kennedy Agyapong stated that this can be achieved if Ghanaians elect Dr. Bawumia as president in the upcoming December polls.

He asserted that failing to elect Dr. Bawumia could negatively impact and threaten the future of the Free SHS policy, which has eased the financial burden on guardians and provided access to education for children across the country.

“The only person who can boldly protect the Free SHS is Dr. Bawumia and the only Member of Parliament who can help Dr Bawumia to protect the Free SHS is Hon. Asemanyi,” he said.

Kennedy Agyapong urged the constituents to maintain their faith in the New Patriotic Party, which has a proven track record of developing the Central Region since the presidency of John Agyekum Kufuor.

“I appeal to you, Fetteh Electoral Area, to have faith that it is well. We have all witnessed the good works of the party since under President Kufuor in the Central Region,” he added.

On his part, Kojo Asemanyi, the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for the Gomoa East constituency, pledged to provide significant support to entrepreneurs to help facilitate their development.
