Government\u2019s latest circular on the travel restrictions imposed on Ghana by the UAE has all the trappings of a grotesque betrayal of the Ghanaian people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead of the Akufo-Addo-led government calling the bluff of UAE authorities and standing up for the Ghanaian people who elected him, he has opted to shamefully throw Ghanaians to the wolves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Where is our dignity and sovereignty?<\/p>\n
Why accept a PCR test 24 hours before flight? Why impose a 6-hour test prior to flying? Where did they learn this from? Which sovereign country in the world is forced by another country to subject the former\u2019s citizens to this humiliation, harassment and cruel extortion before flights? This is totally unscientific and inhumane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Additionally, the arbitrary selection of the labs is another clear case of naked cronyism and private profiteering from COVID-19. Noguchi and the Public Reference Lab are the foremost institutions for credible and trusted PCR tests in this country. Why are they not part of government\u2019s preferred list?<\/p>\n
We must rise and reject these measures outrightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If a government cannot stop groveling before foreign powers and stand up for its citizens then that government is not worth its mandate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, Yaa Asantewaa, Philip Gbeho, Ndewura Jakpa, Mensah Sarbah, Nii Kwabena Bonne III ,and all those celebrated forebears who defended the dignity of the African must be turning in their graves.<\/p>\n
