NPP Member of Parliament for Tema West Constituency, Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah has emphatically stated that President Akufo-Addo and his government have done "what Napoleon could not do" to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

He said persons who keep blaming the President and his government of being the cause of the rise in the disease should bow down their heads in shame for not being fair because this government has been very proactive in curbing the spread of the disease.

"Indeed we have done our best to curtail the spread of COVID-19. What else can man do comparing to the already laid down measures by this government?"

He said the shortage of PPE's in our hospitals are not deliberate actions since the government is never happy losing a soul in this fight.

Speaking on UTV's 'Adekye Nsroma' newspaper discussion programme, the Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry dared members of the largest opposition party to seek the postponement of the 2020 elections if they claim the compilation of the new voters' register will accelerate the spread of the coronavirus, and as well depict the concern they claim to have for Ghanaians.

" . . Ask that this year's general elections be postponed to next year (2021) if you claim the compilation of new voters' register will spread the pandemic," he said.

Carlos Ahenkorah insisted Ghana would have encountered a lot of problems during this period if President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was not the leader.
