The Health Workers currently working are the same that worked during your administration. Grow up and stop politicizing every issue. This is not the time to compartmentalize Ghanaians into former and current government appointees. You've lost it big time!
listen to this azaa man what help can you and your corrupt former appointees give apart from how to steeel from the people, lest I forget we need you to account for the 70 million dollars WHO gave your government when Ebola broke out, still incompetent in opposition and that is where you belong, ofuiiii
People with little minds will understand this great man when ever he speaks with wisdom. We the silent majority are with you. The so called $100m announced by the President is a hoax, they don't even have $10m in place. Always playing to small minds for cheap politics.
HELP THE GOVERNMENT TO FIND OUT GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL ONE; AND THOSE WHO WERE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THE AIRBUS SAGA.
The man is smelling the $100 million cash so he is campaigning for his appointees to come and loot some. MAHAMA AND MONEY is like the vulture and refuse dump.
Mahama should ask both his former Ebola appointees and current toxic mouth propagandists in the NDC to quit the feckless propaganda and go educate their constituents on the measures outlined to stem the spread of COVID-19. That would make them more responsible citizens instead playing to their spectators in the political gallery
They are smelling the $100m for this fight so see how ready they are. Eiii Mahama and money. Let them account for the money allotted for the Ebola first. Tell Ghanaians what happened to that money now, documents don't lie.
Oh, so you hear what is happening in Ghana? Corrupt man, talk about the Airbus bribery scandal!
Mr. Player, keep playing your games. We know how you play. Nana is a serious man. Who needs permission to contribute their bit towards this pandemic?
A D*EAD GO*AT WILL FOR EVER BE A DE*AD GO*AT!! WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP ! WHAT YOU N D C I*DI*OTS MUST NOTE IS THAT EBOLA SICKNESS WAS ONLY IN PART OF AFRICA. CORONAVIRUS IS A WORLD WIDE VIRUS. WHAT EVER YOU DO OR SAY WILL NEVER NEVER BRING YOU BACK TO POWER!!! PERIOD.
