“I think they are all waiting… it’s not like just a Ghana thing, It’s a global pandemic so even if you … the GFA right now you are not sure when all this will be over.”

“They are giving it a little wait to see how we will fare in this part of the continent and discussions will resume on how we will cushion ourselves for all the losses and so on.”
