Mr Alban Sumana Bagbin Deputy Speaker of Parliament has suggested to government to publicly display
Bodies of dead COVID-19 patients as prove to doubting Ghanaians that the virus is real.
He further added that he does not understand why some Ghanaians are adamant to the safety protocols that have been laid down and decide to live life as normal.
In his speech in Parliament a day ago, Mr Alban Bagbin said his call is based on critical observation of the lukewarm nature of Ghanaians towards the virus.
He stated;
“Awareness creation, education, when a leader, you must know the people you are leading well.”
“In Ghana, my dear Minister for Communication was saying that eventhough we don’t see God, we believe that God exists.”
“You cannot see God because God is spirit, it is not the same for this disease, they are not spirits. But the important thing is that the people we are leading, they want to see.”
“In fact, I want to see on TV some evidence of death because when you state that this number of people are dead but they are not seeing anything like that [it will not give them the shock of their life].”
“I believe in the shock therapy. We need shock therapy to wake them up from slumber and make them know COVID-19 is real,”
Ghana covid-19 cases hit 6096
With 1773 recoveries
31 deaths.
