Kwahu ‘locked down’
BY PHILIP ANTOH
philip.antoh@dailyheritage.com
• Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong
issues travel ban on indigenes
THE PRESIDENT of
the Kwahu Traditional
Council and
Kwahuhene, Daasebre
Akuamoah Agyapong II,
has issued directives declaring
Kwahu as a no-go area in the midst
of fighting the spread of Covid-19
and banning even indigenes from
travelling to the traditional area.
The ban affects all Kwahus in
and outside Kwahu, adding that “no
one goes in or comes out as a sure
measure of preventing the spread of
the pandemic in the area.”
A statement signed and issued by
the Registrar of the Kwahu Traditional
Council, Mr Samuel Tuffour,
said, “I am to inform you sons and
daughters of Kwahuman that in line
with the directive of the President of
Ghana to control and eradicate the
Covid-19 pandemic, Daasebre, together
with Nananom of Kwahu
Traditional Council, have constituted
an advisory body named
‘Kwahu Covid-19 Team.’”
According to Daasebre
Agyapong, the body is made up of
eminent chiefs, medical doctors,
other health professionals and the
Metropolitan, Municipal and District
Chief Executives.
“Upon lengthy discussion and
consultations with the team on
March 25, 2020, Daasebre advised
that in order to contain the spread of
the virus, all natives of Kwahu who
currently live outside Kwahu should
endeavour to continue to stay where
they may be, in the weeks to come
and postpone all visits to Kwahu till
further notice,” the statement
stated.
•Flashback the hay days at Kwahu paragliding
•Daasebre Akuamoah Agyapong II, Kwahuhene
The release further stated that
Kwahus living in Kwahu should remain
in Kwahu and that there should be no
travelling outside of Kwahu until the
pandemic could be contained.
Again Daasebre Agyapong said there
is a large population of the aged in
Kwahu who are vulnerable, “therefore
let us act responsibly, since an outbreak
will be devastating.”
He said nobody should shake hands,
hug or embrace and also advised the
people to constantly wash their hands
with soap and running water.
The Kwahuhene advised the people
to follow the directives issued earlier by
the President such as keeping a distance
of at least two metres or six feet from
the next person and cancel all social
gatherings in the area.
“Daasebre loves and cherishes all
his children and passionately appeals to
them to strictly adhere to these aforementioned
suggestions because the
virus moves when you move,” statement
said.

Kasapreko committed to Covid-19 fight – MD
KASAPREKO
COMPANY Limited
has donated
2,400 bottles of
200ml hand sanitizers
to the Ministry
of Information to aid the
country’s Coronavirus (COVID-
19) sensitisation campaigns.
The hand sanitisers were donated
alongside some packs of
Awake Mineral Water and assorted
drinks produced by the
company.
The items were received on
behalf of the ministry by its
Deputy Minister, Pius Enam
Hadzide, and the Chief Director
Mrs Mamle Andrews.
Mr. Hadzide said his outfit had
formed teams to reach out to
people in the hinterlands with education
on COVID-19 to reduce
the spread.
Touching on how far the Ministry
has gone with the mandatory
campaign on COVID-19 assigned
them by the President of the Republic
a few weeks ago, he said
they had partnered with their district
information officers and
some churches had also released
their vans to be used for the education
in the remote areas.
Commending Kasapreko for
their generosity, he praised them
for shutting down their main
spirit (alcohol beverage) production
and resorting to producing
hand sanitizers to meet the country’s
demand as we fight the
deadly corona virus.
The Chief Executive Officer
for Kasapreko Company Limited,
Richard Adjei, said his outfit decided
to produce hand sanitizers
instead of their notable soft and
alcoholic beverages in line with
the president’s call on local industries
to be self-reliant and stop
importing stuffs from other countries
in this trying times.
He added that his outfit had
taken precautionary measures

• Covid-19:
PRESIDENT NANA
Addo Dankwa Akufo-
Addo says the government
is currently
considering a lockdown
of the country
over the coronavirus pandemic as
proposed by organised labour.
President Akufo-Addo gave the
hint when he addressed a fivemember
top hierarchy of the
Trade Unions Congress (TUC) at
the Jubilee House. The TUC
members present were the Secretary-General
of the TUC, Dr. Yaw
Baah; Deputy Secretary-General of

“People are talking now in

of the people who will be affected
by decisions of that nature are the

The ordinary people of Ghana
are the ones that will be most affected

BY WELBERFORCE ASARE
•Some executives of the Trade Union Congress
later, we will come to an agreement
within government as to
what those measures are and then
the Ghanaian people will be informed,”
President Akufo-Addo
added.
Secretary-General of
the TUC
Secretary-General of the TUC,
Dr. Yaw Baah, in a brief remark,
noted that their letter to the President
asking for a total lockdown of
the country was to express
support for all that the
government has done so
far and not to undermine
same. He added that calls
from their members about
what the government intends
to do about the
working population necessitated
the communication
sent to the Presidency. He
pledged the TUC’s support
for the government
throughout the difficult
season of fighting to contain
and stop the coronavirus
(Covid-19), in
Ghana.

Minister for Health,
KwakuAgyeman Manu, the National
Security Minister, Kan-Dapaah

Ignatius Baffour-Awuah.
Covid-19 in Ghana
Ghana, over the last two weeks,
has recorded one hundred and
thirty (132) confirmed Covid-19
cases within its shores. Nearly 970
contact tracing persons have also
been identified and are being monitored
by health officials. Over one
thousand persons who arrived in
Ghana on Saturday, March 21,
2020, are currently in mandatory
quarantine.
The President has also issued
Executive orders that have resulted
in the closure of all schools and
churches in the country for the
next four (4) weeks as well as a
ban on public gatherings in the
country for the next four weeks.
The country’s borders and ports of
entry have also been closed to prevent
imported cases into the country.
Global situation
According to the official Covid-
19 website of John Hopkins University,
www.coronavirus.jhu.edu,
the global situation on confirmed
cases stands at over 487,648 and
over 22,030 persons have lost their
lives. Some 117,749 have so far recovered
from the coronavirus infection
as at 1p.m. on March 26,
2020.
55 Nigerians stranded at Segbe border over fear of Covid-19
SOME 55 passengers onboard a
DAF transit bus with a Nigerian
registration number has been refused
entry into the Togo side of
the Segbe/Kpoglu checkpoint of
the Ghana-Togo border.
The bus travelling from Ivory
Coast en route to Nigeria arrived
at the border since Sunday
evening but has been denied entry
by the Togolese officials on the
other side.
A passenger onboard the bus
told Starr News’ Faisel Abdul-Iddrisu
on Wednesday that they
were distressed and have run out
of money since they did not
budget for the delay.
“We are Nigerians and we are
travelling from Ivory Coast but
the Togolese people have refused
to allow us pass since Sunday. We
are stranded and we are running
out of cash because we didn’t prepare
for this. We need the Ghanaian
government to help us, so that
we can get to our country,” he
lamented.
Meanwhile, a negotiation with
the Togolese officials by the MCE
for Ketu South, Elliot Edem Agbenorwu,
did not yield any instant
result as the officers insisted taking
an action only after speaking
with their superiors.
The officials, however, assured
the MCE that they would collaborate
with their Ghanaian counterparts
at the border when they got
a directive from their superiors.
The MCE noted that the continued
denial of entry and passage
by the Togolese officials posed a
potential danger to residents and
workers at the border, hence the
need to allow them to go.
“We are not in any way suggesting
they are carrying any form
of disease but we are in trying
times and as far as they are on
transit, I think it is prudent we
allow them to go. Their continued
stay at the border poses a lot of
potential danger to both the Togolese
and Ghanaian workers at
the border,” he said.
Despite the closure of the
Togo-Ghana borders to limit the
spread of the Covid-19 pandemic,

rumours are rift that some officials
at the various entering points
are cashing in on the situation by
allowing people to use unapproved
routes into the country.
A close source at the Segbe
border post told our reporter that
motor riders around the border
were used to transport people into
the country through these routes
in the night at a fee; a situation
that he described as terrifying.
The Ghana-Togo border is believed
to have over 200 unapproved
routes, usually refered to
as ‘beats’ that are developed on
daily basis for the smuggling of
goods in and out of the country.
“We are Nigerians
and we are travelling
from Ivory Coast but
the Togolese people
have refused to allow
us pass since Sunday.
We are stranded and
we are running out of
cash because we didn’t
prepare for this.

government to
help us, so that we
can get to our country,”

Editorial
New attitudes needed to fight coronavirus in Ghana
THE DAILY HERITAGE
was surprised to hear a market
woman say on Citi News at 8
p.m. one Saturday that she had
not made any attempt of protecting
herself against the
coronavirus, with another saying
God will protect the people.
This is scary because it depicts
how less some of the
Ghanaian people care about
serious issues and mostly leave
to chance most things that are
humanly possible to deal with.
This attitude is not limited
to the citizenry most of whom
can be said to be less informed
or are misinformed. Those
who are well informed and are
even obligated to take action
to save bad situations either renege
on their obligations or
discharge such obligations
haphazardly.
So far four more cases have
been confirmed in the country
in addition to the first two officially
reported on last Thursday
night but before they were
reported most of us wished
Covid 19 away. Now that it is
here, what are we doing?
The DAILY HER-
ITAGE believes that this is
the time the generality of the
people should change their attitudes
towards anything that
affects human life however
safe some of us may be in the
midst of every crisis.
Our political leaders should
note that "minus God and the
Devil", they wield the greatest
power to change situations. In
Australia, the government has
declared a 14-day self-isolation,
in Austra, the government
has banned any
gathering beyond five (yes, 5)
people, sporting and other entertainment
activities are suspended
till further notice
elsewhere while schools are
closed, in Beijing there is
forced quarantine and the UK
is considering enacting a law to
make quarantine compulsory,
meaning such a law can be applicable
in other relevant situations.
When the DAILY HER-
ITAGE heard that our country
had followed suit in terms
of some of the cases, we
heaved a sigh of relief but said
that was not enough. We need
to lend support to whatever
the government was doing to
save lives. This is not the time
for unnecessary boycotts in
Parliament; this is the time for
laws to safeguard public interest.
This is also the time for all
sectors of the economy or the
society to seek public interest.
One of the simplest guidelines
to prevent Convid 19 is
to wash our hands regularly
with soap and running water.
Has the Ghana Water Company,
for instance, thought of
this to keep the taps running
instead of the present situation
where they turn off the
flow of water to places at will?
Everyone and every organisation
should be involved in
the fight against the coronavirus
because it affects society
in all its entirety.
Time to give back to society
BY PHILIP ANTOH
philip.antoh@dailyheritage.com.gh
THE CHIEF Executive Officer
of Marrer Ghana Limited and
Susatgad Boat Building and
Fishing Industries, Mr Novihoho
Afaglo, has called on
politicians, pastors and well-to-do Ghanaians
to give back to society in these trying times.
According to him, the continuous spread
of Covid-19 in Ghana will definitely call for
a total lockdown, which means the less privileged
in society will be disadvantaged.
Mr Afaglo said the time had come for
self-boasting men of God who claim of having
Ross Royce, Bentley, Bugatti and the
other expensive vehicles and imposing
houses to care for the less privileged church
members and support them with money
from what they had been offering all these
years.
He said politicians and pastors must give
back to society by identifying the people in
need in the churches and constituencies and
• Pastors and politicians told
•Mr Novihoho Afaglo, CEO of
Marrer Ghana Limited
support them with food items and some
stipends in this era of lockdown.
Mr Afaglo said per what was happening,
“there will be more confirmed cases in the
few days to come if there's no lockdown.”
He said in the beginning, “some of our
people took this whole outbreak as a joke but
the way things are going, a possible shutdown
for two weeks will help contain the
spread.”
The CEO said it was time the government
deploy the police and the military to go
out there to put the citizens in order.
"This was my main reason for kicking
against the building of the National Cathedral
because the resources to be used for that
could be channelled into the health sector.
"I personally asked some health professional
friends of mine to petition the President
to invest in hospitals instead of building
a cathedral but to no avail," he stated.
He therefore advised Ghanians to keep
safe in the wake of Covid-19 outbreak, and
that the only cure for the time being was to
self-quarantine because one can never be too
careful out there.
Background
Ghana’s Covid-19 cases have shot up to
132 as of Thursday, March 26, including
three deaths, the Disease Surveillance Unit
has announced.
Out of this, 54 cases were confirmed
from the regular surveillance systems while
the remaining 78 cases were confirmed from
travellers under mandatory quarantine.
The sudden spike in case incidence is as a
result of the mandatory quarantine and compulsory
testing for all travellers entering
Ghana, as directed by the President.
A great majority of the confirmed cases
are Ghanaians, who returned home from affected
countries.
Seven are of other nationalities, namely
Norway, Lebanon, China, Netherlands and
the United Kingdom (UK).
In respect of contact-tracing, a total of
970 contacts have been identified and are
being tracked, and out of this, 204 have completed
the 14-days mandatory follow-up.

Create Covid-19 hardship fund
BY MIRIAM AKROFI, STUDENT, GIJ
•Dr James Owusu
THERE HAS been a
lot of debate as to
whether there should
be a complete lockdown
of Ghana or
not.
There has been a surge in the
number of people testing positive
for Covid-19 and this is a concern.
Lockdown in Ghana might have
some serious implications looking at
our cultural and traditional practices.
In addition, we’re a developing
country and we don’t have systems
in place to mitigate lockdown. Looking
at the number of cases being reported
a total lockdown is inevitable,
though. We need to think of longterm
system of saving lives rather
than looking at the short-term economic
gains.
This is a matter of life and death
and we need to act now. We understand
if there is a total lockdown,
there will be serious economic implications
in terms of people losing
their jobs, not being able to feed
their family, pay their bills etc.
A lot of people are self-employed
and locking down the system means
their business will go under. The
question is how can these people be
supported by the government during
this crisis? We’re not as rich as developed
countries who have put in
stimulus packages to support businesses
and the self-employed and
those on zero contract hours.
For example, the UK government
has put in £330 billion to support
businesses affected by the crisis.
America has injected $2 trillion to
support businesses.
In times like this we have to be
innovative and creative, albeit using
our local resources to solve our local
problems. This is the time for all of
us to come together regardless of
party affiliations to solve this pandemic.
We can look
at the following proposals:
1. Government
can set up Covid-19
Hardship Fund.
2. All businesses
legally registered can
be supported by the
fund for at least 3
months. This can be
reviewed after 3
months. VAT and
other taxes must be
suspended for that
period.
3. All commercial
transport drivers who
are legally registered
with DVLA will not
be operating for 4
weeks to slow the
transmission. Government
will provide
some financial support
to mitigate the
cost of living.
4. There should be an emergency
legislation to stop evictions and
defer rent payments or mortgage
holidays for 3 months for those who
have lost their jobs or cannot work
because of the lockdown.
These are difficult times and difficult
decisions have to be made to
solve difficult problems. These are
unprecedented times and we must be
open and transparent with people.
We all know people’s livelihoods
will be affected. However, we need
to look at the long-term impact if
we don’t take drastic measures to
stop the spread.
At times like this, we have to
recognise the value of each other
and the strength of a society whose
members care for each other and
care for all.

Official video of Mugeez’s ‘Chihuahua’ today
BY ERICA ARTHUR
CHIEF EXECU-
TIVE Officer of
Extrial Music
Records, Rashid
Mugeez, known
in the music
scene as Mugeez and is of R2Bees
fame, is ready with the visuals of
his recently released single dubbed
‘Chihuahua’.
The song, which is released
under his own record label, Extrial
Music, is a mid-tempo contemporary
high life jam produced by Zodivc,
and its official video was
directed and shot by David Duncan.
The video shows stars like the
‘Sisa’ hit maker, King Promise.
Mugeez says the song was inspired
by his life experiences. "I
tell my stories through my music
and ‘Chihuahua’ is one of those
events”. The romantic vibe of
‘Chihuahua’ drags its listener into
it, which makes it a replay-material.
‘Chihuahua’, which is his first
single in 2020, was pre-released on
March 13, 2020, and `will officially
be released today, March 27, 2020,
on all digital music shops and on
Extrial Music's YouTube Channel.
The title of the song best describes
the dog breed Chihuahuas
who are not inherently shivery,
shaky or scared. They are alert,
projecting the ‘terrier-like’ attitudes
of self- importance, confidence
and self-reliance. Mugeez described
an imaginary lover to a
Chihuahua.
Mugeez‘s unique voice is loved
by Afro beats fans all over the
world and ‘Chihuahua’ is another
first-class example of his excellence,
which is a warm-up to his
yet-to-be released solo EP this
year.
“I will be releasing a couple of
singles which are not the same as
the ones on the EP before dropping
the main tape at the latter part
of this year.”
He revealed that “2020 will be
the year to establish my solo career,
while continuously working
on R2Bees projects. There are
quite a few big projects lined up
and I can't wait to show my fans a
whole new side of me.”
The video will be available on

Heart of

THOMAS ABBEY
has set sights on a
sensational return to
his former club,
Hearts of Oak, in the
on-going transfer window after a
two-year break.
Abbey, who joined the Phobians
from Divisional One side
Windy Professionals, left the club
to sign a two-year deal with
Egyptian club Ismaily SC in 2018.
The 26-year-old was a key cog
of the Hearts team as he scored
an incredible 13 goals in 28 appearances
for the club during the
2017/18 season.
Abbey, who is without a club,
has expressed his readiness to
play for Hearts ahead of the second
round of the 2019/20 Ghana
Premier League.
"I am a free agent now and
ready to sign for Hearts of Oak
only if they give me good offer.
Why not, football is my job," he
told Angel TV.

poacher, Yahaya Mohammed,
has indicated that he will be able
to lead the attack for the Black
Stars when the time comes.
The former Black Stars B attacker
has been in fine
shape for the Dormaabased
club since the
2019/2020 Ghana Premier
League season commenced
and is already
one of the few players
tipped to win the golden

Earlier this month he
was named as part of a

that would have played
against Sudan in the qualifiers
to the 2021 Africa
Cup of Nations
(AFCON) tournament.
Unfortunately, his
dream of wearing the national
colours again will
have to wait after CAF
announced a couple of
weeks ago that it was
postponing the qualifiers
due to the coronavirus
pandemic in the region.
In an interview with
Asempa FM on Tuesday,
Yahaya Mohammed was asked
whether he can lead the lines for
the Black Stars team.
He replied, “Yes, I can do it
and even do more. As I said
when the time comes and I have

continue working hard.
