However, her claims were vehemently denied by the Mayor of Accra, Mohammed Adjei Sowah and the Gender Minister, Cynthia Morrison.
Reacting to this, Dr. Zanetor Rawlings said she is ready to back her claims with evidence and called for a probe into the matter.
“I call on the President, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to institute credible investigations into the seeming politicization of food distribution in this time of crisis. My constituents and I stand ready to cooperate and to present unimpeachable evidence before such an investigative panel,” she wrote in a statement.
“May we learn to eschew needless partisanship in this defining period in the history of humankind and come together in true unity to win the war against COVID-19 and to protect the vulnerable adversely impacted in these apocalyptic times.”
