I thought the president said his decisions were led by science and data! What is science telling us now? And his scientific adviser ' advised' him that Ghana had already 'peaked' which suggests from thence we were either going to see the number new cases stay constant or decrease. How come we are experiencing unbridled increase in cases in the last couple of days? What scientific tools and data drove the decision to ease restrictions and allow EC to do the robbish and s3nsl3ss endangering of lives? As for that apology of a supreme court which set aside common s3nse and reason to deliver the obviously flawed judgement which cleared the way for this impunity on our lives, we leave them in the hands of the one and True Judge who is infallible and just As a matter of fact every discerning Ghanaian ,whilst sad at the judgement, should not be surprised given the swift manner in which president nana moved to empanel the supreme court with new judges, some of whom are ardent sympathizers of NPP. It won't be too much to suggest Ghana is currently in a state of capture by a few people who bulldoze their way through with controversial policy decisions even in the face of mass opposition by CSOs and religious bodies. If the voice of the people is really the voice of God then Nana and his ethnocentric cohorts should know that no matter what they do to try and make guinea piigs of Ghanaians, God will surely vindicate his people!
Well is not a surprise at all, is amazing no one is talking about the fact that in spite of the rising figures for COVID 19 infected persons in Ghana, the president eases the restrictions to enable them do primaries and new voter registration. it is not shocking at all because there are more people out there with the disease than what we know. in the few weeks to come, based on the government’s decision please may i announce to Ghanaians, be ready because more and more people are going to contract the virus and we are going to lose more people after NPP primaries and new voter registration exercise. If the media like they should keep silent or talk about it. We ask children not to go to school because one cannot easily control them at every moment they spend in school. Same applies to people in the markets, lorry stations, churches, mosque, work places etc. so if you are in your right senses and you know all this and yet you grant people the permit to go out there in these deadly times. Then you are very wicked. The president is wicked, the EC is wicked, and the Supreme Court is a shock. hmmmm
Shocking, the NPP government is failing Ghanaians big time in the fight to curb the spread of covid-19. What should Ghanaians do? We are looking at death staring at our faces yet we have a leader and president in Ghana. Are there scientist in Ghana?
The government should implement measures to protect the regions with
