Ghana’s Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has pleaded with politicians in the country not to play politics with the health of citizens in the country.
To him, diseases don’t look at political affiliations before attacking a person, therefore politicizing health issues will bring danger to citizens.
“Never again should we be seen allowing ourselves to be divided by politics when discussing our health, the health of our people. After all, when the snake is about to bite you, it does not ask you if you’re NPP or NDC before it bites you so let’s not play politics with the health of our people”
The Veep made the comment on Monday, March 21, 2022, in Nyagbo Sroe within the Afadzato South District of the Volta region where he jointly commissioned Zipline operation centres in Volta and Oti Regions.
His comment follows critics who were against the Zipline operation when the government first announced it in the country about three years ago.
He said “When I look at the tremendous success within the three years of the operation of Zipline, I can only thank God for the sight and the bold decision to move forward with this project. I am sure that, the sceptics have now come to test with the benefit of this project. Initially, they couldn’t see the vision, but now I am sure that they understand the benefit of this project”, he stated.
