There is fear all over Ghana today after a report via most of our online media outlets about the death of one person in Kumasi with a suspected case of CORONAVIRUS.
This became more serious because we are told Dr. Badu Sarkodie, a medical doctor made the revelation.
We are confused as citizens because our President is traveling all over the world, enjoying holiday in the moon without any feel for what is happening to us in the country.
Our Health Minister is also mute on the issue because we are told they don’t want to cause fear and panic towards impending Voter Registion since one of the precautions to prevent the spread of the disease is to avoid crowdy areas. They want to treat it under the carpet at the expense of our Health as citizens.
All we want is for our President to return home immediately and address us on the State of our Health sector especially on the CORONAVIRUS spread and also address concerns raised by World Health Organization about our country’s unpreparedness to handle the deadly CORONAVIRUS cases in Ghana should it surface.
We plead with the Ministry of Health not to play politics with our Health, we also plead with government not to hide the truth from us because of the New Register they want to compile
The President should know that the Health of the people of Ghana is paramount and should be treated above the voters Register they want to compile.
We need to know so that we can prepare and protect ourselves and our families from this deadly virus.
Government should know that NDC values the lives of all the people of Ghana more than even the Election ahead of us in December.
