The Minister For Education, Lee Ocran Is Making Mockery Of Himself

Partisan Minister For Education(Lee Ocran)

Lee Ocran who thought he was teasing some School Heads, saying if Gh¢1.80 is insufficient, try Free SHS, is in my opinion making mockery of himself as a minister for education. Of course for the hard working parents in the bogus governed country Ghana, every cent paid is too much. Therefore if parents are complaining about feeding fees for their wards, there is nothing to laugh about, but the minister for education could joke with it

If Lee Ocran, who said "TRY FREE SHS if Ghc1,80 is not enough", thought he was making mockery of his likes, the few greedy Headmasters who claimed Ghc1.80 was inadequate and needed as much as Ghc2.50, then it's unfortunate for the Minister for education, he rather made mockery of himself, because as a minister of education he should know better. He must considered the financial stand of the hard earning parents who are paying fees over exaggerated rates in the country, only for the corrupt government to open a window and throw away a gargantuan amount of Ghc 52,000,000 (million) into the pocket of Woyome and also buy Air crafts at exorbitant (and cut throat) prices.

The partisan minister for education Lee Ocran, unprofessionally and shamefully said "if Gh¢1.80 is insufficient and could lead to poor quality of food to students, then what will the quality be like if it is free as the NPP is proposing under its free SHS policy?" Either Lee Ocran is a big time hypocrite, a die hard partisan or as a minister for education, do not understand "FREE" (education) SHS.

At a Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) when some corrupt and greedy headmaster claimed in their own interest, Gh¢1.80 is woefully inadequate and could lead to poor quality of food, and therefore needed at least Gh¢2,50. The Education Minister who made mockery of himself busted into laughter when his attention was drawn by "some" headmasters/teachers to the insufficiency of the feeding fee of Ghc1,80.

Lee Ocran started laughing again and said “I see, that is very interesting, you know some people don't want to pay at all. Even this one they are paying and the headmasters are complaining that what they are paying will affect the quality of meal. If it happens to be FREE AS NANA AKUFO-ADDO HAS PROPOSED, what will the quality be like?”

The partisan minister for education said it is time for heads of second cycle institutions to speak up against the NPP free SHS promise if they think the quality of education will be compromised.

“This is the time for them to talk. There is no reason coming to my office to talk,” he charged.

Lee Ocran, when asked if he was referring to the NPP's free SHS policy the minister said: “Yes. That is what is happening. People are paying and yet they are complaining about the quality of meals. What happens if you don't pay at all? Because after all we are paying subsidies to supplement what they are paying."

The hypocrite minister, despite his notorious remarks still objected to assertions that he is politicising the NPP FREE SHS POLICY.

This minister having entered office the first week as the minister for education demanded a brand new luxury Honda Accord for his official use even though there is a similar car, that is less than a year old parked in the ministries garage for him. He said " he will not sit in a car which has been used by Betty Mould, the former minister for education.

"That is Ghana for you." Almost all of them are corrupt, greedy and selfish from "A" to "Z"
