Sammy Gyamfi made a notice that when laptops were distributed to students, the government was not just meeting its educational obligations but also tackling critical infrastructure and resource gaps in the education sector.
“Somebody should tell @KokuAnyidoho that, at the time, the NDC/Mahama government was providing laptops for students, we were not owing six(6) terms of capitation grant; we had provided basic education students all their core textbooks and we had eliminated more than 2000 schools under trees.
We had provided basic school children with free uniforms and sandals. Also, we did not have more than two (2) million children in school without chairs and desks.
At a time when the incumbent NPP government has failed to provide text books to basic school children almost 5 years after the introduction of a new curriculum, government cannot expect praises for the provision of tablets to students at an inflated unit cost of GHS3,200. That is the gravamen of the issue, not equalization. It’s about prioritization.” he shared.
Sammy Gyamfi’s response highlights his view of Koku’s comments as a misrepresentation of facts and a skewed narrative aimed at tarnishing the legacy of the NDC’s governance.
This rebuttal follows Koku Anyidoho’s remarks regarding the distribution of tablets to students during the John Dramani Mahama era. Anyidoho, a former member of the NDC, implied that the tablets were distributed to gain votes rather than for genuine educational purposes.
Sammy Gyamfi, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), responded to Koku Anyidoho’s comments on the tablet distribution during the Mahama administration.
Anyidoho’s remarks hinted that the tablets were distributed to win votes rather than for educational purposes. Gyamfi countered by emphasizing the achievements of the NDC/Mahama government during their time in office.
