Deputy Information Minister, Pius Enam Hadzide says since former President John Mahama has not reacted to comments made by his aide, Joyce Bawa Mogtari, he is in support.
Special Aide to the former President courted controversy when she doubted some figures put out by the Ghana Health Service (GHS).
In a tweet, she wrote: “How the hell did 790 more people recover overnight!!... We need to put these numbers to strict proof!!”
Ghanaians who reacted to this felt she was wishing ill for patients infected by COVID-19.
Speaking in a one-on-one interaction on ‘Me Man Nti’ programme on Neat FM, Pius said, "what she said was unfortunate . . . by her comments she is promoting stigmatisation and so she didn't do well. I am expecting that by now the former President would have chastised her for making those comments but I have not heard anything so it means he sides with her and she spoke on his behalf . . . it means he is also praying for people to die so that they can use it for politics".

He is a hypocritical beneficiary of disingenious propaganda
Pius Hadzide needs his brains checked. Probably, he is suffering from some wrong wiring up there.
I think this guy smokes weed. Why would Mahama chastise someone for speaking the truth. Is it not true that this government always falsifying information? I advise the NDC to even allow the EC to do new voter register because I am sure many Ghanaians can't wait to get rid of this bogus government.
The chickens are coming back home to roost. Enam Pius Hadzide calling for the chastisement of Mogtari Bawa for simply expressing her doubts over the figures being churned out by GHS on covid-19 recoveries. I have now understood the Akan proverb which says "When the ***barred word*** is caught in a trap it sounds differently -- When it re-gains freedom, it sounds differently. Having been left off the hook in his Australia Visa Scandal where he should have been in jail by now, he's got the effrontery today to call for chastisement of Mogtari Bawa for simply expressing her doubts. Royals are walking whilst slaves are riding on horses. Time Will Soon Tell.
The government of Ghana pays Motgari 16000ghc (160 million) a month for being one of the spokespersons for Mr Mahama. The other one is Ofosu Kwakye. These were part of the ex gratia package Mr Mahama proposed to the parliament after he had lost the election and it was approved on the 6th of January 2017 before the last Parliament was dissolved. Mr Mahama's "take home money" was increased from 1400000 to 2200000 ghc (14Billion to 22Billion). The government pays 9600 (9.6 million) for Mr Mahama's accommodation, meanwhile Mr Mahama is living in his own house among other things. This is a caring person who wants you to vote for him again to become the president of Ghana.
