Today is your deadline to present free SHS Bill – Agbodza tells Afenyo-Markin
The Minority in Parliament has threatened to take on the Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin if he fails to present the proposed bill on the Free Senior High School policy to the House on Friday June 28.
The Bill seeks to make the Free SHS intervention mandatory for future governments to guarantee its sustenance.
Despite the Majority Leader’s claims that the Minority opposes the bill, they have denied this and urged the government to address existing challenges in the education sector.

Minority Chief Whip Governs Agbodza while speaking on the floor of Parliament emphasized that the Bill must be laid in the house today for further action.
“The leader is probably on his way to bring the free SHS Bill to the House. Today is the deadline for him to bring the Bill to the House or we will call him names. So, inform him before he comes, that if he does not bring the Bill, we will call him names in this House. Because he is speaking everywhere that we don’t like the Bill,” Mr Agbodza warned.
Upon arrival, Mr Afenyo-Markin assured that the Bill will be presented to the House in due course.
“Mr Speaker, the free SHS Bill will come. I can assure you,” he said.
