In reaction, John Dumelo who contested on the ticket of opposition Ndc in the Ayawaso West Wougon Parliamentary election said in a tweet that
“ It’s a shame Npp Mp’s voted against the suspension of tertiary fees.
Covid has affected many business’s negatively hence the inability for families to afford fees for their wards. Students risk deferring this semester……”
The ruling NPP caucus of the house had argued that government has already done enough to support students in this time of Covid, hence cannot accept the moment filed by the Bawku central MP.
