NPP Chair Locks Up School Block
The locked classrooms
There was drama at the Ampenkro/Asratoa primary School in the Bono Region recently when the Jaman South constituency First Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Henry Yaw Afful (Henforo), stormed the school premises and locked up the entire block, thereby denying students and teachers access to the classrooms.
The Chronicle gathered that the six unit classroom project, which falls under the One Million Dollar per Constituency policy, was awarded to Henforo’s construction firm, but the government has not yet paid him the money spent in executing the contract, even though the pupils and teachers have started using the classrooms. He, therefore, took the decision to sack the pupils from the classrooms and lock up the building.
