Nketia, who is popularly known as General Mosquito said bad governance has the potency of killing more than COVID-19.
He noted in an interview with Joy News on the back of the President’s 20th COVID-19 address, “if we’re going to die, many more people can die of bad governance than COVID-19. So, you [Akufo-Addo] must fix the governance system.”
Citing the killings at some polling stations and other electoral violence which characterised the just-ended polls, the NDC scribe observed that gunshots kill faster than COVID-19.
“If I’m affected by COVID-19 now, I have a chance of surviving and it will take me some time to solve. But if the shooting that is going on now… If they shoot me now, won’t I die? And I will die faster than the COVID-19.”
Yesterday, President Akufo-Addo announced that he has put together a team of experts to procure the COVID-19 vaccine for Ghana.
