Folks, if you ignore the noise and pay attention to basic details, President Akufo-Addo is turning out to be one of the best Presidents in recent history. His social mitigating measures for the COVID-19 crisis announced a while ago is far-reaching and very impressive:
☑Tax free income for three months plus 50percent increase in basic salary for frontline workers.
☑Government is going to make available GHC600 million soft loan scheme with a 6-months morotorium period and 2-year repayment plan for micro, small & medium scale businesses.
☑Government will absorb the water bills for all Ghanaians for the next three months, i.e. April, May and June. All water tankers, publicly and privately-owned, are also going to be mobilised to ensure the supply of water to all vulnerable communities.
☑The Ghana Water Company Ltd and the Electricity Company of Ghana have been directed to ensure the stable supply of water and electricity during this period.
☑ There will be no disconnection of water and electricity supply during this period.
☑Free Transport for all health workers .
At least we've got a president who's thinking outside the box in these unusual times.
Stay safe folks!!!

Gimifo! Something on a paper that is yet to be implemented is now being blown out of proportion. How many times has this president not promised and failed woefully to redeem the promise? He came and talked all these rhetoric, just after he finished there was not electricity and water in some places. He just said no water and electricity interruption but some are experiencing it now. Keep praising him, but there is one up there who knows the heart of man. He determines who a genuine person is.
