Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Public Sector Reforms Secretariat, Mr. Thomas Kusi-Boafo has said the Akufo-Addo government started fixing the economy long before the  COVID-19 outbreak in the country.

Mr. Kusi-Boafo, slammed the "#fixthecountry" campaigners over their protest, saying that, Ghanaians should rather be concerned with combatting the pandemic, via the mass vaccination programme. 

In his opinion, the President has performed very well because, under his leadership, Ghana achieved positive growth in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, unlike countries such as Germany and the USA whose economies contracted.

"It means the government did something to achieve that positive results. So, the government started fixing the country long ago before COVID. The COVID was only an accident that befell us. The government saw its problem at the early stages and drew its programmes to eliminate it from extended credit facilities of the IMF." he said as quoted by peacefmonline.

To him, at this moment where the country is hit by COVID-19, what should be the priority concern for Ghanaians is "how can we acquire the vaccines for us all to be inoculated? This is the question we should be asking. When will the vaccines arrive? What are the arrangements? When will we be vaccinated?'' and not embarking on a "fix the country" campaign.

"Do you think that COVID has destroyed them, they won't get back up again when they unite? When they gain strength and get vaccinated, do you think Germany will sink? No! The people will have the strength to rebuild . . . If I'm dying, I won't cry for roads. I will cry for life! If you have life, you have everything . . . If you construct the roads at Bubuashie around Accra Academy and the people there don't get the vaccines and they die, is it ghosts that will be driving on the roads?" he questioned.
