Government has to consider a significant reduction in advertised COVID-19 test – Okudzeto

A Former Deputy Education Minister and a Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has said that, Government would seriously have to consider a significant reduction in the advertised US$150.00 for a COVID-19 test.
According to him,  Most of our returning compatriots have been under a lot of stress and deserve our continuous empathy and policy option is to have a graduated arrangement where foreigners coming to conduct big business are made to pay a little more to subsidize stressed Ghanaian returnees.
Taking to his Social Media handle, He wrote:
 have always advocated for some special dispensation for our fellow Ghanaians particularly in difficult circumstances such as these. Our Government would seriously have to consider a significant reduction in the advertised US$150.00 for a COVID-19 test.
Most of our returning compatriots have been under a lot of stress and deserve our continuous empathy.
Another policy option is to have a graduated arrangement where foreigners coming to conduct big business are made to pay a little more to subsidize stressed Ghanaian returnees.
A policy alternative of this kind would not be new to the aviation industry where price differentials have long existed in visa fees, ticketing cost, lounge rates etc.
