In reaction, Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam Nartey George said the Minority will be give some GHC2,000 to the students to help transport them back to their campuses.
“As a minority caucus in parliament, we are going to be providing you a token amount of GH¢2,000. The NDC minority in parliament stands with you and we echo the words of our flag bearer and running mate.”
“This money is supposed to help you get back to your campuses or to places where you have come from. We will continue to fight in parliament to ensure that what is due you is paid you,” Sam George said.
