The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Asiedu Nketia is accusing the government of engaging in public opinion manipulation with figures of the coronavirus

According to the politician popularly called General Mosquito, the government has over the period not painted the right picture of the issues to the good people of Ghana.

To him, the periodic updates from the Ghana Health Service are not the real numbers.

General Mosquito was speaking on Accra-based Asempa FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com when he made this known

He noted that the President in his fifth update mentioned that the country had tested over fifteen thousand people through contact tracing and their results will determine the future plans for the country; a piece of information which should have been communicated long ago.

He called on the government to be forthright with information because that will also help people comply with the protocols set aside for the partial lockdown.

“Figures of daily infection rate is very critical in the fight because it will help in compliance of the lockdown regulations.”
