The national Chairman of the opposition National Democratic congress, NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has posited that the president needs to provide free face masks to the citizenry before enforcing the law of ‘No face mask, no entry’.

According to the party chairman, there are a lot of Ghanaians who struggle to make ends meet and can not afford the purchase of face masks so if the president is able to provide free face masks to the people of Ghana then he will have the cause to enforce the law on ‘No face mask, No Entry’.

He made these suggestions when he, together with other party executives donated PPEs to the Begoro District Hospital in the Fanteakwa North district in the eastern region.

“There are a lot of Ghanaians struggling to make ends meet so If you want to enforce the law make sure you provide some of the basic things that will enable the people to comply because with the level of poverty here, if you want to arrest people then you will arrest all of us”. – Chairman Ofosu Ampofo suggested

Chairman Ofosu suggested that the president uses part of the donations and the loan form IMF to provide free face masks to Ghanaians before enforcing the law. “What i will say is that if the president wants make it mandatory to wear face masks, what they need to do is to use part of the IMF money and the donations to produce masks and make them free for Ghanaians” – Ofosu Ampofo added.

He added that contracting Covid-19 is of no respecter of persons, so all must comply with the necessary protocols in fighting the deadly novel coronavirus pandemic.

In the 11th address of the nation by the president of Ghana, he revealed that effective 15th June 2020, wearing of face masks becomes mandatory in four regions i.e. Greater Accra, Ashanti region, Central region and western region as they are part of the efforts to mitigate the effects of Covid-19.
