The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has criticized the second Lady, Mrs Matilda Amissah-Arthur describing the comments she made in Kukurantumi over the provision of educational materials as \u201cinsensitive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the most insensitive statement from a Second Lady and it is unacceptable, and on behalf of the good people of Ghana, the NPP would like to urge her to bring some dignity to the office she occupies and use the same platform to apologise to Ghanaians, particularly, the prominent chiefs and people of Kukurantumi.\u201d<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”edqXK40D6DegTJ2tMWOdrMw9hBltsUk0″]Mrs Matilda Amissah-Arthur chastised the head of \u00a0a public school in Kukurantumi for making unnecessary requests from government.<\/p>\n
She said the provision of the school uniforms is “not by force” and that the teachers have been “spoilt” with the provision of free goodies.<\/p>\n
She argued that because government has taken it upon itself to provide items such as school uniforms, free lunch for pupils and free sandals, parents and teachers are shirking their responsibilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we have over pampered you people. Because we have provided free school uniforms so parents don\u2019t even want to buy basic things for their children,\u201d she complained.<\/p>\n
