The politicization of the coronavirus pandemic in Ghana seems to be continuing, with former President John Mahama’s darling girl and aide, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, questioning the sincerity of the recoveries figure put out by Ghana Health Service (GHS).
GHS last night, May 15, gave an update on the coronavirus situation in Ghana, reporting that the country has recorded 28 deaths, 1460 recoveries and 5,638 confirmed cases.
Joyce Bawah Mogtari a deputy minister in the Mahama administration whose husband was the Chief Executve Officer of FDA under the same admnistration took to her Twitter handle to sarcastically question the recoveries figures, calling for proof of the figures.
“How the hell did 790 more people recover overnight!!” she exclaimed in her tweet.

In all humility, please apologise to Ghanaians for this reckless statement. Otherwise it seems from your post you would have wished more people die, which is below the belt. A word to the wise......
Madam please keep quiet. I am an NDC sympathiser but I would say keep quiet. Ghana would not tell the world our secret cure.
Dear Madam, Please check the number of cases in April. Date: 4/26, Inflected: 1,550, Dead: 11
So Joyce can research and produce figures like this? So how come Mahama said that during his term as president, Ghana ranked top in Africa in media freedom rankings?
So without a message, NDC have now put the last hopes on COVID-19. They are prepared to politicise this issue irrespective of how low they can go, but this is the lowest of the low. Wishing and hoping that more people get infected and die so you can make a case against the government? You can't go lower than this? Very sh@meful!
I pity her. So, she wants the people they want to rule to die or continue to be infected. How wicked can you be? Woman, i am disappointed in you. People like you are the problem of this our dear nation GHANA. Please you have GOOFED big time. So you were once a deputy minister? LORD have mercy on us. Who appointed you? Because of you behavior i will vote for NPP this time. You are a disgrace. Bye
Very dumb woman. Waiting for all of them to die so they can blame the president. This is how low politics has become for the ndc. Ghana first 1dioit woman.
Joyce I expected you to be smarter than this. You are now sounding 1d0tic. When the same GHS told us overnight that more than 900 people were infected you did not doubt them because it fit into you propaganda mind and machinations. As a lawyer you should not allow yourself to be infected by the incompetency of the incompetent one. This how it goes. When a person test positive for COVID-19 he may or may not need treatment depending on whether they have symptoms or not. Over 90 percent of cases thanks to God, are asymptomatic. So what is needed to declare them recovered is their at least two consecutive negative tests at fixed interval after the period that they are expected to have recovered. So within the week all persons who have been diagnosed and have met criteria for the repeat test will have their samples taken. If you check the dates this cohort fall into the period that we started recording hundreds of cases on daily basis. So this cohort have been followed up and are negative and so have recovered. So it is not like you have 700 people on ventilators and overnight they are declared recovered. If you are so jaundiced with politics you will always make a f001 of yourself.
were u expecting them to die. How can a woman open her vocal cavity and hurl out irresponsible statements. Its true, i think ur r cursed
