The New Patriotic Party (NPP), will commence the distribution of free school uniforms to students next week.<\/p>\n
The nationwide social intervention programme would see the party distributing\u00a0three million school uniforms to needy students.<\/p>\n
The distribution is the NPP\u2019s own way of assisting the beneficiary pupils after government\u2019s failure to pursue that policy to help the needy learners.<\/p>\n
Bernard Antwi Boasiako, Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, said all was set for the distribution to start.<\/p>\n
He told Kapital Radio \u2013 a Kumasi-based radio station \u2013 that the NDC administration was not committed to the school uniform distribution project.<\/p>\n
The NPP capo, affectionately called Chairman Wontumi, said the party had therefore decided to intervene to reduce the burden on the parents of the needy students.<\/p>\n
Mr. Anwi Boasiako said the NPP would solicit for funds from its members and other well-wishers to sustain the project.<\/p>\n
He stated that the party would not involve any institution like the Ghana Education Service (GES) in the distribution process.<\/p>\n
Wontumi noted that the party\u2019s members would be visiting every part of the country, identify the needy students and help them accordingly.<\/p>\n
Kumasi Demo<\/b><\/p>\n
The NPP chairman expressed appreciation about the success of the \u2018Ya Ye Den Demonstration\u2019 in Kumasi which lambasted the government on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He was of the view that the colossal crowd that thronged the streets to demonstrate clearly showed that there is real hardship in the country.<\/p>\n
Chairman Wontumi commended both the organizers and the partic- ipants for behaving well and making the event peaceful.<\/p>\n
He announced that the NPP would replicate the protest in other parts of the country until the government sits up to deliver.<\/p>\n
