35 Ghanaian Deportees From Kuwait Test Positive For Covid-19

Thirty-five of the 231 Ghanaians who were deported from Kuwait last week have tested positive for Covid-19.

This was confirmed by the Ghana Health Service (GHS) in its Covid-19 case management update on May 31.

The 231 deportees were said to have tested negative for the virus in Kuwait before embarking on the chartered flight to Ghana.

However, upon their arrival last Saturday, 23rd May, 2020 the Ghanaians were tested for Covid-19 out of which about 15 per cent tested positive.

All the Ghanaians are currently observing their mandatory 14-day quarantine period.

The 35 positive cases are part of the 113 more cases that have been confirmed across the country.

Ghana’s Covid-19 case count as of May 31, 2020, is 7,881 positive cases.

The number of recoveries stands at 2,841 with 36 deaths.

Ghana’s borders have remained closed since March 2020, as part of measures to stop the importation of the novel Coronavirus into the country.

But, the government is currently granting a special dispensation to allow for some categories of Ghanaians outside the country to return home.

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is expected to update the country in a nationwide televised address tonight where he is expected to relax some of the restrictions.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
