On Saturday. August 17, 2024, Newsfile discussed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Manifesto, which promises to abolish academic fees for Level 100 students in public universities.
Unveiled on Monday, this pledge has sparked widespread debate. While it aims to reduce the financial burden on freshers and enhance access to higher education, critics are questioning the feasibility of the promise, its funding sources, and the potential impact on the quality of education.
The guests also delved into is the controversy surrounding the alleged illegal acquisition of state lands by influential individuals.
This issue has grown increasingly contentious, with government officials denying any wrongdoing. However, North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has threatened to expose officials involved if dared by Lands Minister Samuel Jinapor, while demanding the publication of data on all state lands.
