COVID-19 IS EXPOSING THE IGNORANCEEE OF NDC MPS. AFTER NDC PRESS CONFERENCE, OSEI BONSU OF ADOM FM INTERVIEWED OKUDJATO ABLAKWA. THE NDC MP EXPOSED PROFOUND IGNORANCEE AS HE COMPARED GHANA AND NIGERIA IN REGARD TO COVID-19. HE INCORRECTLY ARGUED THAT GHANA CASE IS WORSE BECAUSE NIGERIA HAS 3,526 CASES AND GHANA HAS 3,091 AND THAT NIGERIA HAS ABOUT NINE TIMES BIGGER POPULATION THAN GHANA. ABLAKWA DISREGARDED ALL OTHER CRITERION MEASURE THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 IN A COUNTRY. ANY INTELLIGENT COMPARISON OF COVID 19 SHOULD INCLUDE (1) DEATH RATE -GHANA 18, NIGERIA 107. (2)NUMBER OF TEST IN THE COUNTRY- GHANA 135,902 NIGERIA 22, 492 (3) RATIO OF TEST PER EVERY ONE MILLION OF POPULATION - GHANA - 4,374, NIGERIA 109. SO GHANA WITH ONE NINTH OF NIGERIA POPULATION HAS TESTED SIX TIMES MORE THAN NIGERIA. TO EVERY ONE MILLION NIGERIAN POPULATION ONLY 109 IS TESTED, BUT TO EVERY ONE MILLION POPULATION OF GHANA 4,374 IS TESTED. GHANA HAS DONE EXTREMELY WELL, IF ANY ONE WANTS TO COMPARE TO NIGERIA. IN THE ENTIRE AFRICA GHANA IS SECOND ONLY TO SOUTH AFRICA. IT IS THEREFORE INCORRECT TO DO COVID-19 ASSESSMENT WITHOUT TAKING TO CONSIDERATION THE RATE OF DEATH IN THE COUNTRY AND RATIO OF TEST ACCORDING TO POPULATION OF THE COUNTRY. THE TWO CONSIDERATION DETERMINE THE ABILITY TO CONTAIN THE PANDEMIC. IF A COUNTRY CHOOSE NOT TO TEST TO HAVE FEW CONFINED CASES IT IS EXPOSED BY NUMBER OF DEATH THEY GET. IN EUROPE THE CONDITION OF GERMANY IS CONSIDERED TO BE BETTER AMONG ITS NEIGHBORS BECAUSE IT HAS FEWER DEATH RATE, THOUGH HUGE PROPORTION OF TESTING AND CONFIRMED CASES. WE CAN SAY THE SAME ABOUT RUSSIA, HUGE CONFIRMED CASES BECAUSE OF GOOD AMOUNT OF TESTING BUT FEWER DEATH. IN VIEW OF THIS GHANA IS DOING EXTREMELY WELL. GOD HAS BEEN GOOD TO US AND WE MUST BE THANKFUL. NANA ADDO IS LUCKY AND BLESSED. NDC MPS MUST GO BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN. THEY HAVE WEAK LOGIC AND POOR APPLICATION OF FIGURES. WE NEED INTELLIGENT PEOPLE IN PARLIAMENT TO ENHANCE GOVERNANCE AND BUILD THE NATION.
They accessed my consumption for April,2020 which was 646 Cedis. The credited my account with 323 Cedis beginning of May 2020. I am using the smart meter.
@vincent, if you go to the GHS website you can find it there but its very difficult to understand. I think is the work of the journalist to do and this would have helped every one but since government has warned the journalists in their reportage on COVID-19 they also cant talk. but at lease i have got to know that my route which is Madina, Adenta Legon, East legon, shiashie , okponglo are the hot spot, i really take care of my self when am around those areas if u really know me and u see me in my ninjah dressing u cant make me out. go to madina and see how people wear their nose masks no social distances, and there is some refuse that has been packed at their main station paa. peace fm, please go n check that i saw it since last week and its still there am really scared. is at where the lakeside trotro and salem estate station is. 3ny3 koraaa. so my bro go and check your area on the GHS website or better take precaution. me paa if its not work like i will not go out self. we even go to work and we don't do anything there.
We are still to start enjoying the free or 50% electricity as promised for April to June 2020. I do not know whether some have started enjoying it, but I am yet to enjoy it for April and now May. I do not know if its one those political promises or not, but i am still waiting
I think the GHS is doing a good job but it would have been better if they let us know the suburbs in every region which are contributing to this figure so that the residents in that suburb would be very careful. The mere mentioning of the regions is too broad for my liking and it is not helping us.
