“When the pandemic struck, Ghana, with a population of 31 million, had only 67 ventilators in its public hospitals. The number of ministers of state was more than twice the number of ventilators available to face the pandemic. Medical experts said ventilators were vital in treating the respiratory conditions occasioned by the virus. However, the nation bought less than 70 ventilators during the outbreak. That brings us to the next question. If the core fight against the pandemic did not receive the needed funding, then where did all the borrowed and domestic funds go? On what did Ghana spend so much that COVID-19 continues to feature as the main reason for the Akufo-Addo government's economic woes?”

“An activist who protested with Akufo-Addo in the Rawlings era, Charles Wereko-Brobbey, thinks Akufo-Addo's presidency has been worse than the Rawlings regimeâ€�. . In an interview for this book, Wereko-Brobbey said the things he said and wrote in the Rawlings era and went home without ever being arrested would have got him in serious trouble in the Akufo-Addo presidency.”

“Mr. Boakye Antwi said the nature of Ghana's constitution made it almost impossible to hold the president and government accountable. He said MPs of the governing party must support the government in everything or get into trouble.
"If your party is in office, you cannot go against the government.
MPs are here like robots. You have to support the government, whether it is right or wrong. The party is weak when it comes to the government because nobody can tell the President what to do. It applies to both parties, not just the NPP. The Constitution has given the President far too much power, and we don't have powerful institutions to check the President. CHRAJ, Supreme Court and all those institutions are appointed by the President. And as an MP, once you disagree with the President, they will unseat you.”
