ACCRA, GHANA: Ghana’s government is spending GH¢2m a day on feeding the vulnerable. The poor execution of the initiative during the lockdown is the perfect ground for coronavirus disease COVID-19 spread.
As the world battles the global pandemic of coronavirus disease COVID-19, a headline suggesting a West African country where healthcare delivery is not at its optimum best could be spending over $300,000 a day to aid the spread of the virus does not make sense.
On just the face value, yes. But Ghana’s government could be causing more harm with a good initiative that has abysmally poor execution.
On Friday, March 27, 2020, the president of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo announced a lockdown in two of the county’s regions as concerns around the spread of coronavirus COVID-19 heightened.
/How-Ghanathe name of Nana Addo’s choice of cloth for his announcement of a partial lockdown in Ghana. It means drops of tears.
Following the announcement, a series of government policies have been laid out to ease the pressure on Ghanaians as the world deals with the virus. These measures include taking away the water bills of the people of Ghana for the next three months (April, May and June), reducing electricity bill by 50 percent, bonuses for frontline workers, free transportation for health workers among other things.
