The newly commissioned COVID-19 Response Team of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) led by former Health Minister Alex Segbefia and former Chief of staff Prosper Bani will today, Thursday, 26 March 2020 engage President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in a dialogue to explore optimum strategies that the government will have to deploy in bid to combat the deadly Coronavirus in the country.
Ghana has recorded 93 cases of COVID-19 with four deaths with one recovery.
The NDC set up a 13-member committee made of some former government appointees to avail their expertise towards government’s fight against the disease.
Speaking in an interview, Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Peter Boamah Otokunor expressed hopes that the President will accept the position of the team in good fate and collaborate with the team to achieve maximum results.
He told the host Blessed Sogah that: “We think that it shouldn't be because we are in opposition, we would be unable to provide the needed technical support to the government so we decided to form this team so that the team can interface with the government and see how we can pass on experienced knowledge to support the government in this fight.
“We did that sincerely and we expect that the government will accept it sincerely. As we speak now, they have sent us an invitation and the team leaders Honourable Segbefia and Mr Prosper Bani would be engaging them and I'm hopeful that as they make this presentation to the government, the government will take it in good faith and see how they would work together.”

Akuffo Addo should not waste his precious time on these bunch of NDC !d!0ts. He must distant himself from them. They do not wish him well.... They could intentionally infect him with the virus. Remember they planned and killed Prof Mills in cold blood. A word to a wise......

The President shouldnt give them audience.After all we have only one Government.Whatever they have to say they should pass through the minority MPs. There is a government in place how there you form another team to do what. Wait when you win elections then you can utilise the team. We are in winner takes all era, Go and sleep.
