National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has described the decisions taken by government to fight against COVID-19 as “best and highly commendable”.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa Fm’s Ekosii-sen, Sammy Awuku said the President was meticulous in going through suggestions, advice and ideas and eventually came out with best solutions to contain the situation.

“Two health experts and researchers told me the President acted just at the right time and that if he had acted too early he could have posed a problem. If acted too late too, had its own ramifications but, in all; the President acted on time and with precision”, he said.

Sammy Awuku lauded the President saying he has shown courage and must be supported any day.

He noted that if the government had heeded to the pressure from the minority to ferry Ghanaians in Wuhan in China to Ghana, “we would have gone down the abyss of COVID-19”.

He argued that countries like Italy, Spain, Germany, UK and France who went for their citizens and students from China to their respective countries have suffered worse cases of the pandemic.

Ghana’s recent COVID-19 case stands at 287 with 5 deaths and 3 recoveries.

“The President has shown courage and determination in the face of the pandemic. This is no time for politics but a time for sacrifices to be made in the supreme interest of the country. The President has proven beyond reasonably doubt that he knows the job,” Mr. Awuku said.
