Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak has asked Majority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu to stop throwing specks of dust into the eyes of the general public concerning the coronavirus tests results stating that no parliamentarian has been tested positive of the deadly virus.
He describes claims by Majority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah that no member of parliament has tested positive for COVID-19 as a lie.
Hon Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka has disputed a claim by Parliament’s Public Affairs Directorate that no Member of Parliament or staff of Parliament has tested positive for the Covid-19.
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentarian mentioned on Joy Prime’s ‘Prime Morning’ that two MPs and 13 staff of Parliament have indeed tested positive for the virus.
Muntaka explained that the infected MPs and staff have been isolated while contact tracing has been initiated.
The Director of Public Affairs at Ghana’s Parliament, Kate Addo has denied reports that some Members of Parliament and staff of the House have tested positive for the coronavirus.
Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah Bonsu has also said the reports that the MPs and some members of staff of Parliament have tested positive for the virus is merely speculative journalism.
But Muntaka Mubarak has said it vehemently that what happened in Parliament and what is in the media front that some MPs have tested positive is the fact, It is the truth.”
