Traditional authorities in Ghana have been urged to be at the forefront in the enforcement of the various protocols and guidelines set out by WHO and government in the bid to control the spread of the deadly coronavirus disease.

Yaw Dabie Appiah-Mensah, a former NPP Regional Organizer for the erstwhile Brong Ahafo region in an exclusive interview with Oman Fm’s Kwame Osahene in Sunyani observed that considering the honour and respect usually accorded “our chiefs and queens, it would be extremely helpful for them to step in and ensure that citizens strictly adhere to all the safety protocols and guidelines meant to curtail the further spread of COVID-19 in the country.

Mr. Appiah-Mensah urged residents in the lockdown areas to remain at home and avoid any confrontation with the security agents and further called on all well-meaning Ghanaians to give President Akufo-Addo their maximum support in this critical moment.
