The Coalition is getting worried by the day ever since the government came out with protocols to bring life to normalcy gradually.
Public health management without the trust of the public is one of the most difficult job in health care administration especially during pandemics like COVID 19.
But it looks like the government and it agencies like the EC is rather increasing and affirming people's believe that the virus does not exist or even if it does, it is not as gangerious as we are made to believe.
Our worries started from the NPP Parliamentary primaries, the event took place in a manner that makes many ask as to whether we are in normal times or not.
People were seen hugging touching as if everything is normal mean while, another reality is happening in town where police and security officers are publishing other citizens for not putting on nose masks while in town at places which are not necessarily clouded like what we saw during the primaries.
After the primaries, we were waiting to see or even just hear that a single person has be arrested for violating social distance orders just for public health PR consistency.
But everything came and went as usual in Ghana, this lack of consistency and seeming abuse of power by government in power raises a lot of doubt and unanswered questions in the minds of the people about the same virus of which we are told can only be defeated by the same protocols and orders we saw been violated over there.
THE EC' NEW VOTER REGISTRATION
The EC's lack of control and lack of compliance to their own most advertised social distance and safety measures at the registration ceters is the most shocking.
But we still have some hope left for the EC because today is just the first day of a whole two months of activities but, if what we saw on the first day is going to be the standard for social distancing then we as Ghanaians have two things at stake.
One, we should embrace ourselves to see the virus spread uncontrollably because the level of social distancing we saw on the first day has all the conditions necessary to increase the number of people infected with the virus.
Secondly, maybe we should all forget about the virus and go about our daily lives the old normal because the virus does not exist looking at how careless the EC as a government institution is handling social distancing at the various centers.
The third option is, maybe, the government, the EC and all of us Ghanaians put the 2020 elections above all human lives that is if the Ghana health services, the ministry of health and the government still want Ghanaians to believe that the virus exist and can be spread through close human to human contact.
The Coalition will end observation about government and government agencies inability to add the action needed to create a serious reality of the pandemic as such contradiction by the government and it's agency like the EC will put preventable pressure on our insufficient health workers.
