General News of Wednesday, 31 March 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comA member of the Legal Team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Lawyer Abraham Amaliba, in 2020 cautioned that people who flout the coronavirus lockdown rules will face a four-year jail term. He advised the residents of the Kumasi and Accra Metropolis to abide by the Coronavirus lockdown rules to avoid any issue with the law. “The EI of the president gave the power to arrest anyone found guilty of the law and could face a jail term of 4 years or a fine of 12 thousand Ghana cedis when taken to court”, he said. On 30th March 2020, Ghana went on lockdown following the President’s order as a means of stopping the further spread of the deadly Coronavirus which is steadily gaining root in the country. In doing this, we cannot afford to copy blindly, and do all the things some other well-developed countries are doing.”
