Parliament will today, January 21, 2021 debate on tertiary fees proposed by the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga.
The NDC Caucus also supported the motion with arguments that the suspension of the fees is necessary due to the economic hardship imposed on parents by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mahama Ayariga wants the NPP caucus to accept the motion because it will greatly relieve families that have been adversely impacted by COVID-19, particularly the incomes of households.
The motion is seeking the suspension of the payment of fees for students in tertiary institutions for a year due to the impact of COVID-19.
The motion was moved on Wednesday but objections to it on grounds of competence delayed the debate.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin later announced that the motion had been admitted because it is competent and was properly submitted.
