We Can Do Without Foreign Aid - Senyo Hosi To Govt As He Sheds Light On Completed Infectious Disease Facility
Senyo Hosi, CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors has urged government to focus less on foreign aid.
He said if they have been able to put up an ultra-modern infectious disease facility using Ghanaian hands, 'government can learn from that'.
Infectious disease facility
Ghana’s first infectious disease isolation and treatment centre is ready and set to be commissioned on Thursday, 24th July 2020 by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The facility will be used to treat critically ill Covid-19 patients.
When the pandemic is over, it will be used as a centre of excellence for treatment and research into some of the most infectious diseases prevalent in Ghana.
Senyo Hosi who was speaking in an interview on Peace FM’s morning show 'Kokrokoo' said "Government should learn from this; no foreigner or foreign company was used . . . the engineers, everything was from Ghana. It tells us we don’t need to always depend on foreign hands".
He expressed appreciation to corporate organisations, the military and some individuals who helped in the project.
He, however, urged politicians not to play politics with the project.
"It was a collaboration between government and the private sector . . . politics should be taken out of this; we should focus on the success of the project and the benefit to the people of Ghana. The money was from Ghanaians and they should be celebrated," he added.
This facility will soon be replicated in Kumasi and Tamale.
