At all costs, we must stop our nation's thieves-in-high-places, from targetting Ghana's COVID-19 vaccine procurement programme. What is wrong is wrong: Our leaders must not compound the abomination that big-thieves-in-high-places seeking to profit from the shortage of COVID-19 vaccines, represents, by making excuses for the price-gouging that took place, in the shabby story of the purchase from dubious characters in Dubai, of the Russian manufactured Sputnik5 vaccines, at U.S.$19 instead of U.S.$10 per vaccine.
Humanity now faces a new era of serial pandemics as zoonotic diseases increase with the destruction of forests globally. President Akufo-Addo has rightly stressed the importance of having our own vaccine manufacturing plants to produce safe vaccines year round. Speaking personally, I have now lost faith in the Sputnik5 vaccine, and even if it is the only one Ghana can procure, going forward, I will do without it, and rather focus instead on staying safe in disciplined-proactive-fashion.
I am pretty sure that there are many other Ghanaians, too, who have also lost faith in our nation's coronavirus vaccine programme, which has now been targeted by the greed-filled big-thieves-in-high-places, amongst our mostly shortsighted ruling-élites. Ey3 ensem piiiiiii...
As a wise and aspirational people, before Ghana starts producing vaccines locally, we must ensure that our ruling-élites stick to the agreed national plan, to procure vaccines mostly from the Gavi COVAX AMC, if we are to prevent them from playing Russian roulette with our lives, in the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines, nationwide. At all costs, Ghanaians must stop the greed-filled and powerful thieves-in-high-places, in the current administration, from targetting our nation's COVID-19 vaccine procurement programme. Full stop. Enough is enough. Haaba. Ghanafuo abr3, oooo. Yooooooo...
