Mame Yaa Aboagye, Deputy Communication Director of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described the NDC's response team formed by former President John Dramani Mahama as “needless”.

To her the NDC’s team will cause great confusion and unnecessary countering between government decisions and their own interest.

She believes Ghanaians are already satisfied with the measures Government has put in place to deal with the threat of the novel Coronavirus disease.

“This is very dangerous and will cause the greatest confusion and the masses wouldn't know which one to believe, I don’t remember NPP setting up any committee during the Ebola crisis so why response team now . . . do they really understand what they are doing?” She rhetorically asked.

She urged former President John Mahama to spare President Akufo-Addo and his government with their unnecessary interventions anytime he (President Akufo Addo) makes a serious statement concerning the  fight against COVID-19.

Mame Yaa Aboagye also doffed her hat for President Akufo-Addo for his rapid response and pro-activeness to curb the spread of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Background

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, has ordered the closure of Ghana’s borders from Sunday, March 22, 2020.

This is to help reduce further escalation of the Coronavirus infection rate in the country.

“Anybody who comes into the country, before midnight on Sunday, will be mandatorily quarantined and tested for the virus."

He has also banned all public gathering including churches, funerals, and political rallies in the next four weeks due to the coronavirus disease.

President Akufo-Addo noted that private burials and weddings are allowed but should just be for a few people at least 25.
