NPP have done well for implementing Free SHS - Sammy Gyamfi admits

 The National Communications Officer of the opposition NDC Sammy Gyamfi has commended the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for implementing the Free Senior High School policy in their first term.

According to him, though it is a significant policy which has impacted the lives of the ordinary Ghanaian positively, there has been a problem with its implementation.
