The Secretary General of the Democratic National Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has asked the government to channel its energies to fix what he believes to be a decaying structure of the governmental framework.
According to him, the current measure that is being taken against the new coronavirus will be useless if the necessary measures are not taken to rectify the anomalies that emerged during the elections that have just ended.
The NDC has opposed the EC election verdict that saw Nana Akufo-Addo emerge as the winner. The opposition party has accused the government of colluding with the Commission to skew the results in its favor.
The party also alleges that the government is adopting the use of security officers to intimidate people at polling stations.
Speaking on the back of the president’s latest Covid-19 speech during JoyNewsIn The Probe Sunday, Mr. Nketia explained that, “If we are to die, many more people can die from bad governance than Covid.
“Therefore, you must fix the system of government,” he said.
The NDC scribe-in-chief cited reports of assassinations in Techiman South, among other acts of electoral violence that characterized the polls.
He insisted that he has a higher probability of dying immediately from a gunshot than from Covid-19, hence his analogy.
“If Covid affects me now, I have a chance to survive and it will take me some time to resolve. But if the shooting that is happening now … If they shoot me now, won’t I die? And I will die faster than the covid. “
He urged the government to “fix the wrong things that threaten to blow up this country instead of talking about Covid at this stage.”
