The President intimated during that State of the Nation Address on March 30, 2022, that we had mobilized about Gh\u00a217.7 billion since 2020 to fight the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>We have subsequently reconciled the data and I can report that as of end-May, 2022, we have mobilized Gh\u00a218.19 billion to mitigate the effect of the pandemic. Again, when the Vice President indicated on April 7, 2022, at the National TESCON Conference that government had spent Gh\u00a28.1 billion on Covid-19, it was within the context of expenditures for 2020 as I have already indicated,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h3><strong\/><\/h3>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/gview?url=https:\/\/media.peacefmonline.com\/docs\/202206\/601619284_59850.pdf&#038;embedded=true\" style=\"width: 90%; height: 1000px\"><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"peace_black_text_4\">Source: Peacefmonline.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"clear:both\">\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"peace_red_text_1\">Disclaimer<\/span>: <span class=\"peace_ash_text_1\">Opinions expressed here are those of the writers and do not reflect those of Peacefmonline.com.
