We need Regional updates of confirmed cases. is Greater Accra 400? or more etc. It will also help people to realize how close the virus is at their doors and stay home principles will be adhered to seriously.
The government can try that ***barred word***. U and ***barred word*** taught governance was a child’s play eerh. ***barred word*** and sia
AAABA i wonder why the government is even doing the mass/routine/enhanced testing. He should leave that for all of us to be infected particularly the NDC. ***barred word***
When you run a country with big English, showmanship, do propaganda and forget to run the ground this is what happens. Now where are those who taught excellent speeches are solutions. Now we should not blame leadership. When you posting snippets of speeches to spite someone as if the other is so damn you taught the virus will wait for you eerh. Now we should work together. The truth is the NPP think they had all the knowledge and released the hawks to anyone who shares an opinion including GMA. Omo nkoa na amin nyansa. Nana Show boy, Addo Prayman, Nana GuyGuy, can some one help me with more. kasa ntwie nkoa just to redicule the other side. Even bra DT has stopped that and he is humbled. This is the laziest government I have ever see, with all the good will its enjoying, they never optimized this and instead for them to work they want to gain political capital. Oya speak now and let solution be done. Now the president and the government will see that it is no more show boy and mockery again it is hard work and seriousness. God save our motherland
The reason why the president is loosing the fight against the pandemic are as follows: Politicization of the fight against the virus. 2. Dishonest officials carrying the message and taking advantage of the situation to milk the system. 3. Sudden rise in disregarding president's directives. 4. Making the president -spokesperson to announce the numbers only at night with no time for questions and answers -a time when most youth are asleep. 5.Divided front for and against because its an election year. 6. Decentralization of public education does not exist making information dissemination very very difficult. 7 The biggest problem with NPP is communication- insults will never solve this problem. 8. Lack of seriousness and importance attached to the message. Hence the president would be seen as a failed leader if this issues are not addressed prompt. Finally about 65% of ghanaians do not believe what the president announces.
churchs, companies,political parties. what are you doing to help you members? now you are all expecting government for any action to deal with CORONAVIRUS (religious leaders must help their members)
Ghana is the only country that government officials are immuned to this virus. our preparedness was poor coupled of politicization of the pandemic. people taking advantage of the most vulnerable in society to milk the state. I am sure the virus would be with us until 2021. This would be the time ghanaians will realized the seriousness of the virus. The figure will rise and visionless men of god would be exposed. Not until we hit the highest and loose loved ones we will never learn.
Lockdown is not the solution to this pandemic. Russia and other countries are recording daily increase in cases despite total lockdown. John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. We need to repent first as individuals and also as a nation and stop the hypocrisy and religious fantasy. Prices of goods and services increased because some selected group have been classified as essentially service providers so they have to make all the money now. After stealing the tax payers money, the same people are going about distributing face mask bought with the stolen money. Soldiers are shooting the very people who employed them because they now have guns.
