Carlos Ahenkroh Inteview with the Media:
Background
Mr Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah said on Thursday, July 2 on Accra-based CitiFM and Asempa FM that despite being COIVD-19 positive, he toured some registration centres to see how the process was going when the Electoral Commission began registering Ghanaians for a new voter ID card ahead of the 7 December 2020 polls.
“I decided to see how some of the centres were just operating. So, I stepped out into town a bit. It didn’t mean I couldn’t go out. My test results had shown I was positive a week ago and after one week, my doctors said I could step out,”
“They [doctors] said I could go out, except that I needed to wear my mask and observe social distancing,” the lawmaker told Ekosiisen’s host, Osei Bonsu (OB) on Asempa FM.
Many Ghanaians on Social media have called for the immediate dismissal of the Deputy Minister despite stating that he was “very careful” and “very mature about it”.
