NPP will lay foundation for free SHS -Arthur Dadzie

From Naabenyin Joojo Amissah, Cape Coast
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Cape Coast South Constituency, Lawyer Michael Arthur-Dadzie, has hinted that a New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, will lay a solid foundation and build strong pillars that could sustain free Senior High School (SHS) education in Ghana.

He noted that Ghana, as a country, could tap and develop the inherent potentials of the citizenry, through quality education that has a sound foundation and could withstand the test of time at all levels, as Nana Addo and the NPP want for all Ghanaians.

Arthur Dadzie, who stated this at the launch of his campaign for the forthcoming general elections, called on all Ghanaians to vote the NPP into power for change that would transform their lives.

“I always believe, and it is a factual thing, that every individual is endowed with inherent potential, and when you put in place the proper structures and proper environment, you will be able to unearth them for their personal development,” he added.

Touching on the fishing industry, Lawyer Dadzie observed that a more vigorous fight against pair trawling, a non-traditional fishing practice, was required, to be able to save the fishes from further depletion.

He added that the activities of pair trawling have not only impeded the work of the ordinary fishermen, but have also plunged the fishermen into all forms of debts, including premix fuel, nets and other fishing inputs.

He bemoaned the situation whereby 'pair trawlers' carry out their expeditions with much impunity, and destroy the nets and canoes of fishermen, without any punishment being meted out to them.

“We need to put in place proper structures to ensure that what is a canker and an impediment is removed,” he asserted, and pointed out that an NPP administration, under Nana Addo, would put in place stringent measures that would restore the fishing industry to it past glory.
