Deputy Minister of Information, Pius Enam Hadzide has criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for going about their campaign activities as usual but fighting for a close down of schools and shops.
According to him, John Mahama is campaigning in almost all the regions in Ghana but is calling for the country’s future (schools) to be shut down.
“The NDC Flagbearer is going about campaigning in all the regions in the midst of the Covid-19 . . . . every Monday they organize people to meet at their Head Office to work because they have put measures in place just like every other institution, but when it comes to the future of the country, which is the final year SHS students, according to the NDC we should not give them the chance to write their exams and progress in life,” he stated.
He added, “we should not entertain such behaviour of the NDC in this country. It is not a good behaviour.”
Pius Enam Hadzide insisted that government have put in all necessary measures to ensure the safety of students in schools.
“The government has put measures in place as it has provided 3.6 million face masks for the final year students, the teachers and the non-teaching staff, numbering 1.7 million for free; the government has paid for the masks and again provided 1.7 million bottles of hand sanitizer as well as 50 thousand thermometer guns and several hundreds of thousand veronica buckets for all the schools and their authorities,” he said.
