High life act,Kumi Guitar has advised the government and Ghanaians that we can do better than what we doing in the act of combating Covid – 19 in Ghana.
The ‘Dream’ crooner laid bare his thought in an interview with Graphic Showbiz that the government is working hard for things to be right but there’s more that has to be done. He asserted that ” Even though the government is doing its best,I think more can be done .Some people can’t stay indoors because they don’t have anything to eat.Just a segment of the the country’s population is under the lockdown and the government should be able to cater for those who couldn’t stock up on food.
He further explained that ministers the state are still receiving incentives with which these incentives could be used to support people mostly the vulnerables.
“Our market system is bad so in times like this, it’s difficult to stop certain things. “If there are state owned malls in all the regions which sell all kinds of foodstuff, they will be able to control the situation. “If the mall is state owned, there will be nothing like hikes in the prices of foodstuff unless the government says so.
“In times like this, the government can decide to even reduce the prices of food, sanitisers and other essentials. “Not paying water bills for three months is great and I applaud the president for that but it will be great if they do so for electricity. “People are at home and when their prepaid gets finished, how will they buy the prepaid if they don’t have the money?
“If the electricity is free, it won’t even get finished so the President should kindly look at that,”
Being quizzed on how he manages to rehearse in the midst of the lockdown he remarked;
“I rehearse just to keep me busy. Unlike previously when I rehearsed for shows, now I rehearse just to entertain myself and keep me busy.
“I also used to rehearse with a band but now I do it alone at home,” he continued.
