Professor Grace Ayensu-Danquah, the Parliamentary aspirant of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has sponsored the spraying of mosques in the constituency to reduce infection and fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Her action, followed the ease of restrictions by the President to allow churches and mosques to congregate and worship their maker despite the rising figures in the disease.

For over two months, such religious entities had to suspend formal gathering in sanctuaries and mosques and resort to praying in their abodes since the disease spread through the massive gathering at public places without recourse to safety protocols.

Professor Ayensu-Danquah said the well-being of her constituents was a priority as the COVID-19 pandemic continued to surge particularly in the Western Region.

“I have vowed to do all that I can, not just as a parliamentary candidate but even as a professional medical practitioner to help the good people of Essikado-Ketan where I have my roots".

The President during his tenth address on COVID-19 to Ghanaians eased the ban on the religious gathering but not without well-tailored safety measures to comply particularly on spacing, hand washing, and the wearing of the face and nose masks.

The President through the Ministry of Local Government had also made available such PPE for the use by religious entities as a commitment to fight the pandemic.

Meanwhile, the Muslim leaders at the various communities in Essikado-Ketan Constituency were grateful to Prof. Grace Ayensu-Danquah for her kind gesture adding, "We will do our best to glorify her in the upcoming December 7 general election, because she has proven to us that she thinks about the constituents in Essikado-Ketan".
