The Member of Parliament for Ketu South Madam Abla Dzifa Gomashie is demanding further and better particulars on the announcement for the reopening of our land and sea borders.
According to her, she had wanted to jubilate over the announcement but had to hold on after realizing that our neighbours were yet to reopen their borders.
He asked if the announcement by the President was only limited to Ghana or cut across other neighbouring countries.
She said it would not be prudent for Ghana to reopen its borders when others have not reopened theirs.
“If you open reopen your borders and others have not reopened theirs what would be the essence?”
President Akufo-Addo announced that effective today, Monday, 28th March, all land and sea borders will be opened.
Fully vaccinated travellers will be allowed entry through the land and sea borders without a negative PCR test result from the country of origin.
Citizens and foreign residents in Ghana, who are not fully vaccinated, will have to produce a negative 48-hour PCR test result, and will be offered vaccination on arrival.
But the lawmaker who had in the past demanded the reopening of the borders said it was good news for residents and the constituents that for the past years, they have suffered the economic impact of the outbreak and closure of the borders, and finally, it has been reopened.
“However, we need clarity on the matter. The Information Minister must come out and clarify some of the issues. He should tell us if the border reopening was limited to Ghana or across other countries.”
She added that the constituents need to know so they would plan their lives.
She further extended gratitude to persons who had donated food items and other commodities to be shared among deprived persons in the constituency.
She said Kayayei especially we’re the most affected and the donations by institutions and individuals including former President John Dramani Mahama went a long way to help them.
