Dear Editor,
I wish to draw attention on something that fellow citizens must be aware of. It appears most of us are not taking the safety protocols serious and are constantly dropping our guard daily and a high sense of empathy is setting in for most Ghanaians.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 is on the rise and taking high profile lives and casualties. This includes friends and close relations. The only reason why this is happening is that most of us are trusting our instincts more than Common Sense and Science.
If we should all insist not to talk to anyone not wearing a face mask apart from people in our houses, we will not only help curb the spread but save lives as well.
Coronavirus is not like Chicken Pox that can be seen with one’s eyes. Don’t trust anyone you are not living with even if it’s your mother, brother, office colleague, you don’t know who they have been exposed to. It’s getting serious and the only way to protect yourself and your family is to enforce strict safety protocols. Never send children to buy credit or anything for you.
Vendors and food sellers are more exposed than anyone else because 100s of people interact with them and they handle money that has passed through several hands.
You life and that of your close family depends on what you put or do not put on your nose and mouth. You DO NOT HAVE TO SPEAK TO OR ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE SPOKEN TO BY ANYONE NOT WEARING A MASK!
People erroneously drop their mask to the chin, a practice which is extremely serious and dangerous. When you do that you risk picking the virus from your chin and breathing it in. Before you drop your mask to your chin apply sanitizer to your hands and rub your chin.
Sir John was a very intelligent lawyer and head of the Forestry Commission. You are not better than him! He and his family dropped their guard and 4 members are already dead.
If you keep dropping your guard there’s a probability that you will not last the rest of the month.
Be Wise! “Your Life is on Your Nose
Don’t trust your eyes and emotions, some have paid dearly for that error of judgement and you can be next!
A concerned Ghanaian citizen
Minister for Education Haruna Iddrisu has questioned why Ghana continues to import toothpicks despite having the resources to produce them locally.
Speaking in Parliament, Mr. Iddrisu, who previously served as Minister for Trade and Industry, said he feels ashamed that the country still depends on imports for such a basic product.
“I have been Minister for Trade and Industry before and I carry the shame. How come that in Ghana we cannot produce toothpicks and we have to import them?” he asked.
According to him, Ghana has enough resources to support local businesses to manufacture products such as toothpicks instead of relying on imports. He said the country should encourage private sector investment in manufacturing to create jobs and reduce dependence on foreign goods.
Mr. Iddrisu alleged that some people who received government support under private sector initiatives failed to use the funds for their intended purpose.
“If you want, Honorable Kojo, because you… I can’t go there. There are people who took money in the name of the private sector and said they were going to farm. That money never went to their farms. You know that,” he told Parliament.
On job creation, the Education Minister said he agreed with the views expressed by a colleague on the need to create more employment opportunities. However, he argued that the One District, One Factory (1D1F) programme did not provide the solution to Ghana’s employment challenges.
Mr. Iddrisu made the remarks during parliamentary proceedings while contributing to discussions on job creation and the country’s industrial development.

New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications officer, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has dismissed reports linking him to an alleged GH¢55 million case, insisting that no such issue was raised during his detention by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
In a Facebook post after his release from EOCO custody, Mr Aboagye stated that at no point during his detention was he questioned about any GH¢55 million.
“For the records: There was no discussion of any GH¢55 million with me by EOCO. None,” he wrote.
According to him, he was detained for four days, a day after announcing his intention to contest for the position of National Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party.
Mr Aboagye alleged that false narratives were circulated about his arrest but expressed confidence that the truth would eventually prevail.
He thanked NPP supporters who demonstrated and called for his release, saying news of the protests reached him while he was in detention and encouraged him.
Mr Aboagye indicated that the support shown by party faithful strengthened his resolve and reaffirmed his commitment to serve the NPP.
He maintained that his detention had not discouraged him from pursuing his political ambition.
“If the intention was to break me, it has failed. If the intention was to scare me, it has failed spectacularly,” he stated.
Mr Aboagye expressed appreciation to his legal team, the leadership of the NPP and all supporters who stood by him throughout his detention.
He reiterated his determination to lead the party’s Communications Directorate, declaring that he remained “ready to win” and committed to what he described as the party’s mission to “command the narrative.”
