Accra, Ghana, June 18, 2020//-Former President John Dramani Mahama says the Akufo-Addo led government has been more concerned with praising itself than addressing the spread and realities of the virus in the country.
He said this when he was addressing Ghanaians through his Digital Address this evening.
“Parading students leaders, Council of State Members among others to sing praises on you at the Jubilee House doesn’t stop the spread of the virus,” Mahama said.
He was confident the spread of COVID-19 could have been put in check if government had listened to ‘sound reason’ from Ghanaians.
Currently, COVID-19 cases in Ghana have risen to 12,929 as at the latest count on Thursday. The death toll remains at 66 with recoveries standing at 4,468.
