Ghanaian actor, Richard Kweku Asante famed as Kalybos claims to have saved a significant amount of money as a result of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government’s introduction of Free SHS.
He claims that, prior to the implementation of free SHS, the majority of his earnings went into covering his nieces’ and nephews’ tuition.
He made the decision to openly back the policy in 2020 as a result.
“My point of view is that, coming from my side of an Ashanti home, when you become the breadwinner there is a lot of responsibility because I had to get my uncles supporting me and so when you come out successful, you get 10 times that burden on you. For a long time, I couldn’t save much because always I had to keep on paying fees.
These fees go out to those entering the Secondary Schools, and primary schools. I supported the policy of Free SHS. Trust me, ever since the policy came in, I could actually save and make use of the money. That was my point of view, I didn’t go in for any other reason,” he said on TV3.
