President’s directive
The president in a broadcast on Sunday suspended all public gatherings in the country with immediate effect following the increased cases of coronavirus in ghana.
"I have decided, in the interest of public safety and protection of our population, to review the public gathering advisories earlier announced. You may recall that on Wednesday, 12th March 2020, when I first spoke to you directly on this matter, I announced the first raft of enhanced measures taken in response to the pandemic. At the time, there had been no reported, confirmed case of the Coronavirus in Ghana," President Akufo-Addo said.
Ghana has recorded 7 cases of the pandemic so far. The country is currently faced with over 350 people having had contact with the affected persons being observed.

What country is this de3 what country is this nkura*sesem nkoaa ! Where in the Bible did it say you need yo clap your hands before God will hear you gyi*mifuo wasting their time in so called church service. The Bible say the end time will bring false prophets and its like it is starting from the Ashanti region with false prophets instead of strong men finding work to do to help the nation the runaway from paying taxes and form churches as business indoctrinating their foo*00lish congregants to see no evil and donate to make them rich above them where in the Bible showed the 12 disciples were rich and where in the Bible showed the clan of Levi whom God choose to be priests were rich but look at these so called prophets who have called themselves as men of God and deceiving their followers leading luxurious lifestyles this shows they are not from God because where your money is is where your heart is. You cant worship your wealth and worship God so my people Ghanaians learn sense and stop following chalattans for they have no place in heaven. Poverty is all over the world there is nowhere under the sun that poverty is not ! Open your eyes and behave like smart snake and dont allow chalatans to deceive you for they dont know God more than you. The blessings and guardians of God is also in Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Anglican and the Baptist. Stop fooling yourselves with these magicians who call themselves prophets for their punisnment from God is equally like Satan.
What kind of country is this? Some people think the law does not apply to them. He should be dealt with to serve as a deterrent to others. For his selfish interests, the collection that he is going to get from the members, he decided to go ahead despite clear instructions to the contrary! And the members too. They should have been rounded up. See them hooting at the arresting officers!
