Former President John Dramani Mahama has once again taken a swipe at government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana.
According to the NDC flagbearer, government has been more concerned with praising itself than addressing the spread and realities of the virus in the country.
Addressing Ghanaians through his Digital Address, Mr Mahama said the spread of COVID-19 could have been put in check if government had listened to ‘sound reason’ from Ghanaians.
“Parading students leaders, Council of State Members among others to sing praises on you at the Jubilee House doesn’t stop the spread of the virus,” Mahama said.
Meanwhile, COVID-19 cases in Ghana have risen to 12,929 as at the latest count on Thursday. The death toll remains at 66 with recoveries standing at 4,468.

Actually, I also think that the government is not addressing the problem correctly. All evidence proves that the only way to get rid of the virus is to test all of us and separate the infected from the rest. Rather the government is spending huge sums of money subsiding water, ecg, education bla bla bla, instead of using the money to acquire test kits and separate the sick from the masses. We had better done this now, else the cost we will pay in the near future will be herculean.
