Crisis management Company, LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited has continued with the disinfection of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA’s) as part its contribution towards fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Saturday’s exercise is a continuation of what the company started last weekend during which several Ministries including the Ministry of Transport, Roads and Highways, Gender, Children and Social Protection, Energy, Environment, Science and Technology as well as the Accra Metropolitan Assembly among others were disinfected.

The Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Defense, Finance, Communications, the Public Services Commission, Council of State, State Protocol Department, Office of the President Annex, Ministry of Health and the Department of Urban Roads were covered on Saturday, April 4, 2020.

The rest are the Department of Feeder Roads, Registrar General’s Department, Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development.

The Chief Executive Officer of LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited, Mr. Kareem Abu reiterated the commitment of the company to aid government in any way possible to contain the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said the company as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has undertaken to disinfect the various MDAs to create a fear-free atmosphere for public sector workers to go about their duties without let or hindrance.

“We have a plan to expand this initiative and that is to move to some of the regions outside the capital to disinfect government Departments and Agencies out there. Even before the outbreak of the pandemic, we have embarked on some CSR activities in the Eastern and Greater Accra Regions during which we disinfected selected Senior High Schools and Market centers. We’re with the Ghanaian people each step of the way and we believe this is the time they need us most. We will not let them down.” Mr. Abu said during an interaction with the media.

The Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Badu Sarkodie who joined the disinfection team during the exercise, lauded LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited for offering to disinfect the MDAs free of charge in this crucial time.

He noted that Ghana’s official figure as far as the COVID-19 pandemic is concerned stands at 205 and that it was imperative all well-meaning individuals and organizations put their shoulders to the wheel to ensure the fight is won.

He explained it was for some reasons such as the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus that LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited was contracted by government to disinfect all imports and exports at the country’s ports to ensure the prevention of infectious diseases.

Dr. Badu Sarkodie admonished all Ghanaians to adhere to the precautionary measures as outlined by the President and government and endeavour to stay safe by staying at home.
