The Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman Manu, has asked Ghanaians to allow the Akufo-Addo administration more time while it takes steps to address the country’s problems.
According to the Minister, the Covid-19 epidemic devastated the economies of most nations, including Ghana. As a result, the government is working hard to revive the economy in order to alleviate the citizens’ hardship.
During a press briefing on Wednesday, the Health Minister responded to the #FixTheCountry Movement’s demands.
According to him, the administration has done a good job of managing the economy despite the challenges created by Covid-19.
As a result, he said that the administration needs time to “fix” the country, as demanded by the Movement.
“We couldn’t get imports from China because of lockdowns and factory closures. And even when we were easing to allow people to trade, how to get ships to transport their wares to Accra, Ghana became another issue, so freight charges started increasing.
“And we know that when freight charges go up, there is imported inflation and definitely we will feel something in our country that will accumulate to some little charges,” he stated.
He continued, “We have stopped evaluating all these [effects] and we have gone ahead to form a #FixTheCountry Movement. Yes, government will fix the country but we need time.”
Mr. Agyeman Manu also urged everyone to be vaccinated in order to save the country from reverting to its dark days.
He urged that getting the vaccine is also every citizen’s contribution to the country’s recovery.
