Former President John Mahama has said all the suggestions he has been making since the coronavirus entered Ghana, were part of the National Democratic Congress’ COVID-19 Response Team’s paperwork which has already been handed over to the Akufo-Addo government.
In his epistle on Day 20 of the three-week lockdown just a few hours before President Nana Akufo-Addo lifted the restrictions, Mr Mahama said: “I received a suggestion on Facebook last week about reaching out directly to the President with the suggestions I have made in this series of posts”.
“Indeed, many of the recommendations I have made were drawn from the work of my COVID-19 Technical Advisory Team, which has already submitted these proposals to government in the form of two policy papers. The most recent one was delivered on Friday”, he said.
The flag bearer of the NDC encouraged “all to keep practising the preventive measures such as handwashing with soap under running water, and to continue social-distancing by staying at home”.
He said: “These are not normal times and we must continue to stick together and united as one nation, one people with one destiny”.
Ghana has, so far, recorded 1,042 cases of the virus with nine deaths and 99 recoveries.
The President, while lifting the three-week lockdown, told Ghanaians in his national address on Sunday, 19 April 2020 that the health authorities are clearing a backlog of some 18,000 COVID-19 samples.

Pls also tell your members to stop smuggling covid 19 patients from neighbouring countries to Ghana.if they kill all Ghanaians and they happen to win power who are going to govern?why did Your sammy gyamfi vow earlier this year taht the new voters register wont come on and you were going to do everything to stop it. so , suspect to intentionally imported this virus into Ghana somewhere dec 2019.that is why , you kept saying the number of positives is more than offically reported. this is wickedness.
look at this ***barred word*** oooooo
You are lying. Any decision by this govt on COVID 19 has been criticized by NDC, so were you criticizing your own decisions? No wonder they called you incompetent.
Why have you forgotten to also say you suggested to the president to lockdown for the third time but the president lifted the lockdown. Hahahahahah Mahama ne nkora agoro dierrr oo dabidabi.
ooohhhh massa why power by all means.brother mahama you are being petty too much
Hei JM, stop that conc3rt party J0kes, you couldn’t even manage common Dumsor, how much more Covid 19 that has overwhelmed the whole world.
And so what? This Kanazoe ford bribe guy is seriously incompetent. If they are your covid 19 ideas then go and patent them. Concert man.
Looks as if pettiness and ndc go hand in hand.
So you had these ideas and allow Ghanaians to suffer for almost 5 years under dumsor. No wonder Airbus and the IPP scandals are pupping up at this time. During dumsor time this man was exposed that the problem is not production capacity but money to buy crude and as greeeedy as he is(***barred word***/Yentie Obiaa) went in for an emergency power burges. the the chicken has finally come home to roost.
I’ve been saying it all along. This is proof that NDC wants COVID-19 to stay around for as long as possible. This is the lifeline Mahama has been looking for. How many statements did he issue concerning the Airbus scandal? Not one. A while ago it was Otokunor who claimed the government was “stealing“ their ideas. Now he’s jumped down to that level himself. What ideas are those at all? This is a novel sickness and the whole world is now learning how to deal with it. What kind of experts has Mahama assembled that the President doesn’t have access to? Health and economic experts? Look at the makeup of his team. Margaret Kwaku is a health expert, but is aspiring NDC candidate for Hohoe, so she too, needs a lifeline against John Peter Amewu. She’s not doing this out of mere patriotism. Everyone who has been watching what is going on in Europe and America knows that any easing of a lockdown must involve a balance of health and economy. Nobody needs the NDC COVID-19 team to get ideas. Mahama is only desperate for acclamation and a way to revive his lame campaign.
