Politics of Thursday, 28 May 2020Source: happyghana.comGovt’s sharing of food during lockdown caused increase in coronavirus case count – CPPFile photoDeputy National Committee Director of the Conventional People’s Party (CPP), Benjamin Nsiah has said the government’s method of distributing food to widows and the deprived, might be the reason for the increase in the number of coronavirus cases in the country. He made this assertion on Happy FM’s political Show Epahoa Daben with Kwame Afrifa Mensah. Benjamin explained that he is of this view because the president did not allow the state to lead in the food distribution, but rather allowed his political party, the NPP, to do so. Per Benjamin’s view, the NPP government has simply rendered the state useless by refusing to allow them perform their roles, and not only in relation to the food distribution. According to him, the NPP, since it was introduced as a political party, has not benefitted the country in any way.
