National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has stated it is not surprising that cases of coronavirus have been recorded in the country.
According to him even though it is bad news it is not surprising. He said though it is a bad disease we should remain calm and not panic much as countries like China and Korea that panicked have faced its consequences in their country.
He called on all political parties not to be political about the COVID-19 since it doesn't affect political colours and has no respect for personalities.
“Let’s not be political about it for coronavirus is no respecter of persons or political affiliation and not considering ones wealthy status. Let’s take a nationalistic aspect of the story and tackle it as such,” he said.
Speaking on Peace FM’s 'Kokroko' political discussion programme, the NDC communicator stressed that government needs not to be secretive about the confirmed cases reported but disclose to citizens every truth involved in the case to keep citizens calm.
Also, he indicated that government should disburse some part of the funds allocated for the disease to create awareness in all languages spoken in the country and also create enough quarantine centres in all the regions.
“Government must throw more light on the cases confirmed and keep no secret. We don’t only need to know where the confirmed victims are coming from but their names are as well needed, because in Nigerian names of the victim and the driver involved were mentioned and where the victim travelled from. So why are we hiding details of the confirmed cases in Ghana as if it is a CIA confidential matter,” he argued.
Sammy Gyamfi further detailed expectations from government and said “Government should provide concrete procedures on how we can contain the situation and prevent it from spreading . . . "

gyae gyimi no. tell us what you know that we haven't heard and stop this rub bish. don't waste our bloooody time and ears
So if 1000 cases and we keep publishing names for what ....that will even create more panic and segregation among us. Knowing that this family ,one person had some we will discriminate for even the persons kids to feel bad . No need for any names. if the person is noted for treatment its best than to seek for their names
it is unfortunate that this corona virus continue to take lives of people all over the globe. We keep hearing of new cases every now and then. For us as humans, there is no end to this fear,suffering and death of the corona virus. however, we have assurance from the GOD of the heavens, the creator of the universe through his able prophet in the person of TB Joshua, who has said,BY 27 MARCH 2020 THIS CORONA VIRUS WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST, LET THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD CONTINUE TO PRAY AND TRUST IN GOD FOR THE FULFILMENT OF THIS PROPHECY. THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST.
Any time I listen to this dude, my hatred for the NDC deepens further. His posturing and submissions are so repulsive. Thank God he represents the voice of the NDC. He'll successfully create the quantum of haters for the NDC before December 2020
WHEN WILL THIS BABY WITH SHARP TEETH MAKE SENSE IN HIS SUBMISSION WHY THIS MYOPIC SYCOPHANT ALWAYS PLAY POLITICS IN EVERYTHING WHY?
We do not need politics in this arena so just take your political ***barred word*** and liars out of this serious space.
First time of making sense. Try to be objective in your political discussions, you're young and whatever you do and say today will be used against you tomorrow. The measurement you measure to your brother will be measured to you in future so be wise and respect. Don't take advantage of politics and look down upon people of your father's age. it'll bounce back to you.
You are wasting your time although you are fed with your long talk. Many Ghanaians don't take you serious because many of us have tasted bitter life under NDC governments. Your long talks and writings would not change most of our people's minds. But continue to use this strategy to feed yourself and your family.
Sammy, you have made my day because that is the most sensible contribution you had ever made. Unlike your paid press Kwesi Pratt who was beating about the ***barred word*** by creating fears and panic about the threat the corona pandemic poses to the 2020-elections, ostensibly being proactive, yet his main goal was populistic, to put the whole election in question, jeopardy and discourage the same. Because the NDC has no chance to win at all.
Sometimes listening to this young man alone is enough to make you throw up. When you speak from the assumption of government being "irresponsible" after careful deliberations with the requisite technocrats and evaluation of all options, it insults and debases the good judgment and conscience of the other person and thus treads on the other persons sensibilities to throw away you suggestions,however good. These two parties for their votes keep doing that especially now the opposition who are paying back what they perceive to have been done to them while in government. Please stop it and let us unite in fighting this virus.
