IS THIS MENTALLY RETARDED APPROACH CORRECT? YOU SPENT THREE YEARS OF FOUR YEAR TENURE AUDITING ON GOING MAJOR HOSPITALS ACROSS GHANA. SHAMEFULLY AND BANKRUPT OF IDEAS, YOU FAIL TO OPEN ULTRA MODERN LEGON HOSPITAL. YOU HAVE LESS THAN SIX MONTHS TO YOUR TENURE, YOU WANT TO BUILD 88 HOSPITALS. BE BOLD AND TELL GHANAIAN HOW HOSPITALS YOU BUILT IN THE PAST 3 YEARS TO CONVINCE US THAT U CAN BUILD 88 HOSPITALS IN 6 MONTHS. CONCERT OR A CON MAN.
Shut down and who feeds the teaming poor majority, NDC and JDM? Always playing politics with everything even death and life matters. Anyway, who is asking you people to go out? If you're brave go out, covid 19 is waiting at your doorstep and by His grace your action will only affect you and your household only.
Ghanaians need to repent as individuals and also as a nation. Total repentance from sin and wickedness is the only solution. Countries practicing total lockdown have cases escalating. Lockdown was use to commit evil by individuals and also groups. I don't trust those PPE and other items being shared free by politicians.
So only 16percent has travel record , Infact Nana has failed the entire country . If tell them the truth , they say you're doing politics as if they themselves are not politicians . And if you praize them then you're making sense .i am disappointed !
The evil dwarf and his fu 1ish supporters should read this.
If the number keeps increasing anytime more test is done, they we have all assume we have it. That is why it was very unwise decision not to have shutdown Accra as early as February. People are praising government from lifting the ban, all well and good. Let's pray because if this gets out of hand, the people of Ghana are in trouble. In the midst of the number increasing institutions like EC still want to go ahead with registration. Amazing!
