General Secretary of the Convention People's Party (CPP), James Kwabena Bomfeh has taken a swipe at political opponents chastising President Nana Akufo-Addo and his government over the management of COVID-19 situation in the country.

Ghana's COVID-19 case count has exceeded 25000 with over 21000 people recovering from the disease and unfortunately, 139 deaths have been recorded; according to the Ghana Health Service.

Meanwhile, final year students are in schools preparing for their final examinations.

Some Senior High Schools have also recorded Coronavirus in recent weeks, causing parents to panic.

The Accra Technical University was the first to record a case after a National Service personnel contracted the virus.

The Ghana Education Service also disclosed that 55 students and staff at the Accra Girls SHS have tested positive for COVID-19 and over five Senior High Schools in the Western Region have also had their students infected.

The rate of infection has become very alarming and there are incessant calls on the government to immediately close down schools and allow the students to return back home.

A group called the National Council of Parent-Teacher Associations of Ghana believes the students staying home is the best alternative to resolving the outbreak of the virus in the schools.

But James Kwabena Bomfeh popularly called Kabilla thinks otherwise.

Contributing to ''Kokrokoo'' on Peace FM, he blamed Ghanaians for the increment in the cases of COVID-19 in the country.

According to him, it is the relunctant behaviour of Ghanaians including some of the students to adhere to the health protocols including the wearing of masks that has contributed largely to the increasing numbers infected by the disease.

To him, President Nana Akufo-Addo is doing everything possible to safeguard the citizenry against the disease, however without the cooperation of the people; all efforts will go down the drain.

''Until we learn to be disciplined people, no government can succeed in restructuring or turning this country around'' he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi.

Kabilla also posed questions to the political opponents, particularly the leadership and members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who have decided to discredit the efforts of the government asking ''what economy in the world, since the COVID-19 outbreak, can we say has been an exception, resilient or above COVID-19? Tell me one economy; the world over. Which healthcare system, the world over, has proven to be robust or strong enough to withstand COVID-19? Which research institution, Professors and academics has shown they have a solution to the COVID-19? Have we not all been reduced to our level that we're human and we're limited?''
