Member of Parliament for Juaboso Kwabena Mintah Akandoh is calling for a mass testing for all MPs.
The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Health Committee, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, says all MPs should be tested for the COVID-19 pandemic because they are more exposed to it.
He told Citi News that measures must be put in place for MPs because they are potential carriers of the virus.
He explained that their chamber isn’t spacious enough for all of them to even practice the social distancing.
“If you say we should not gather more than 25 and 275 of us gather in the same chamber without ensuring social distancing, the government’s posture will not be seen as we are serious unless there are pragmatic measures put in place to ensure social distancing.”
“We travel more than anybody in this country. It should not be as though we are superhuman beings. I think if indeed we are going to be called to do a specific business, I do not have a problem. But sitting as though there is nothing at stake, I vehemently oppose that idea” – He said.
