The National Communication officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi has schooled the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) on why it is important for NDC to form a rapid response team to help curb COVID-19 Pandemic.
According to him, the opposition has a role to play in educating and sensitizing the public on COVID-19.
Sammy Gyamfi on his Facebook wall listed the reasons for the NDC as a party to form the response team to help fight against the outbreak of Coronavirus in the country.
Read full statement below;
1. Does the opposition have a role to play in educating and sensitizing the public on COVID-19? The answer Yes. So what’s wrong with the NDC putting together a team of health professionals to help with education and public sensitization on the pandemic?
2. Does the opposition have an advocacy role to play in the public discourse on covid-19? The answer is Yes. We receive invitations from media houses on a daily basis to speak on COVID-19.
So what’s wrong with putting together a team of health professionals and experts to lead our advocacy on the subject of COVID-19 alongside our regular party communicators?
3. Has President Akufo-Addo asked for a bi-partisan approach to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic or not? If yes what’s wrong if the NDC puts together a team of health professionals to offer support to government? Doesn’t the NDC have a right to participate in nation building? Or are our brothers in the NPP suggesting that they are all-knowing and have all the answers to the COVID-19 malaise?
4. Once upon a time, the NPP under the leadership of Candidate Akufo-Addo formed a shadow cabinet in this country yet nobody complained. The NPP should give us a break!

Why would peacefmonline even give this misleading headline. When someone is displaying his level of ignorance and gross gibberish you say he is educating.
Then, form a committee to also speak on the airbus scandal because media houses are also asking and wanted to know. What are you talking about. You have a role to play and you guys are opposing to the implementation of the restriction bill? God will judge you wicked ndc cohorts
Sammy, you better say that to your Gen. Secretary, Asiedu Nketiah who had read conspiracy theory into the avoidance of public gathering and prevised the President's call as an attempt, to rig the 2020-elections. Oh, Sammy, how I wish you knew how siiiilly your Party secretary is.
Why is he talking too much? Who has complained? Has the NPP spoken against NDC forming any team? Their approach to this supposedly voluntary alliance is making it clear this is only to score political points and not out of good will.
Do you require the services of an editor?
Peacefm when at all will you grow,your headline is misleading to extent ***barred word***.how can this boy schooled npp.what at all is good in the ndc and npp will learn from.Grow up guys.
NDC is behaving like they are special living in an island different from any other person or group of persons in this country. You're engaging in parallel Coronavirus mantra for political gains and not the wellbeing of the masses. So spare Ghanaians your sheer hypocrisy.
Boring Ghanaian media. What he did was to explain the what NDC's Covid 19 team will be doing. He didn't school anybody. Why do some media people use terms and words that connote violence and insults etc when reporting on the relations between NPP and NDC. In most cases simple and plain words like explain, object, clarify,etc. will do the job better but they will rather resort to using words like slam, storm, school, etc. This is a mark of shallow journalism
