Private legal practitioner, Yaw Oppong has faulted the Ghana Education Service after it sacked two headteachers for charging unapproved fees.
The law lecturer with the Central University argued the decision by the GES Council to sack two school heads and the interdiction of nine others, may have breached GES Act 506.
Just 48 hours into the implementation of free SHS policy, two headteachers, Mr. Wisdom Blazu of Pentecost SHS in the Eastern Region and Assistant headmaster of Daffour Senior High School, Rev S.P Eleworkor were relieved of their posts.
The Ghana Education Service said it had found them of breaching guidelines on the free SHS which had been communicated to school heads.
He said Act 506 requires that a disciplinary committee is set up to deal with allegations of wrongdoing.
Yaw Oppong said: "There is no evidence that the Disciplinary Committee invited these people to be charged...and given adequate opportunity to be heard".

What's wrong with you Yaw Oppong? Which part of the reason for the dismissals don't you understand? It is people like you who hold back progress in Ghana. They are probably your friends. Headmasters have had enough time to adjust to the new reality. They have probably been living beyond their means and are using unauthorised fees maintain their lifestyle. They should be criminally investigated and brought to justice if they cannot account for all the monies collected over the years.
