There have been concerns by the Chairman of the NDC’s Covid-19 Technical Team, Prosper Bani that the government is not properly managing the pandemic, some people have also accused the government of massaging Covid-19 figures.

Prosper Bani said the the government could do better in the management of the pandemic in the country.

“I will like to say we can do better in the management of this pandemic in Ghana. It can be structured better and managed better, we can transmit information to the public better and mobilise the citizens to become more conscious to some of the directives that the leadership has put in place.”

However, the Deputy Minister for Finance and MP for Obuasi West Kwaku Kwarteng in response to the concerns raised on Joy FM’s news analyses programme ‘NewsFile’ agreed with the suggestion from Prosper Bani.

“We can do better that was his response which I thought was a dignified response to the question you asked and we agreed as a government we can always do better and it is the reason we are always having internal discussions and engagement with the experts to see how we can continually improve the way we are handling this pandemic.”

He added that concerns raised by some people that government do not have a plan in managing the pandemic cannot be true.

He explained that most people handling this pandemic are human beings and can also get some of the things wrong but they should be commended for their effort in helping the country combat the virus.
