Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has debunked claims that donations made to Ghana by some philanthropic entities and other foreign nationals to assist health workers and the country might have been deliberately compromised to cause harm.
Founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma through his Foundation made available thousands of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to Ghana.
The United States and Chinese government have also donated test kits to help Ghana combat the spread of the disease.
But there are a few skeptics who have raised issues about the donations with some believing in conspiracy theories.
Addressing the issue in an interview with host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo'', the Information Minister cleared the air stating emphatically that none of the items received by the government poses a threat to life.
According to him, the Food and Drugs Authority checks every donation before the government utilizes them and so allayed fears of them being tampered with.
''There is nothing that we got and distributed to the hospitals without necessary checks. We ensure the FDA and Ghana Standards Authority tests everything we acquire to make sure we are comfortable with it before we make them available for our system to utilize'', he assured.

So far the deaths in Africa has been the lowest across the world so why are we accepting new risk??
If Africa accept these gifts, the covid19 will spread like wild fire. Let's return them with the money that came with it. These items are going to kill millions of people.
What is the youth of Ghana doing? Please be focused, demand answers from authorities. The negotiator of chinese loan should speak up
Africa has been made poor by leaders who enjoy gifts from foreigners.
The minister should as a matter of urgency talk about plans in place to help ghanaians being maltreated in China and stop the fuckiiiiin lies. If not the youth of ghana should wise up and vote NPP out in December 2020. If a chinese could be set free and ghanaian jailed for involving in galamsey and yet nothing is being done to the current situation in china. The NPP administration has no moral right to govern ghana
If the f..king Chinese want to help Africans why are they molestinggg our brothers in china? Why do you leave Africans to sleep on the streets and then ship these items all the way to Africa when the same Africans are being brutalized in your country. Now the Chinese have seen our gold and other resources, they would like to get rid of us! Let's return whatever they brought. Tell them to give it to other Africans suffering in china.
Is it the same FDA that has been checking the dangerous food and drugs that has been causing all the deaths and strange illnesess we have in this country? Massa! If you think these dangerous items are good then the ministers should use them first on live TV. If it is nose mask let nkrumah and his friends use first before it is unleashed.
