Former President John Dramani Mahama has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of using the tablet distribution program in Senior High Schools as a tactic to gain votes in the upcoming 2024 elections.
He noted that a large number of the students would soon turn 18, making them eligible voters, and suggested that Vice President Bawumia’s initiative is designed to attract them.
Mahama emphasized that the government should focus the nation’s limited resources on essential projects and support ongoing educational programs.
He further criticized the administration for failing to provide textbooks following recent curriculum changes, describing this as a more urgent issue than distributing tablets to schools.
