Coronavirus: I don't believe your numbers, be truthful - Asiedu Nketia to government

The Chief scribe of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Asiedu Nketia, has said the number of Coronavirus cases recorded in Ghana exceed the number announced by the government

He claimed the Ghana Health Service is “hiding” the truth from Ghanaians due to government’s “poor” measures to fight the spread of the virus.

“For me, I don’t believe the numbers they have put out, cases recoded here is more than seven. The government must be open and transparent to the people,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.

The Ghana Health Service confirmed two more cases on Thursday, bringing the number to nine.

According to the Service's website, the latest was recorded in the Greater Accra Region.

"The case-patient is a 35-year-old male, a Ghanaian citizen, who returned to Accra from France within the past 14 days," the statement said.

The statement said the latest case is also an imported one and is "being managed in isolation and "in stable condition."

This announcement comes two days after the Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service confirmed four more cases of the deadly coronavirus in the country and the other two earlier.
