The Minority in Parliament has demanded an apology from President Akufo-Addo for joining thousands of mourners to flout Covid-19 protocols at the funeral of late former NPP General, Secretary, Kwadwo Owusu Afrieyie last week.

According to the Minority Chief Whip, Muntaka Mubarak, this action by President Akufo-Addo and top functionaries of his government, demonstrates that he is not determined to nip the pandemic in the bud.

“The President owes us an apology that as a Commander in Chief he was there when this thing happened, I mean nothing could be said rather than for him to apologize to the rest of the country.”

His comment follows the circulation of a video on the funeral rites for Sir John on social media, which shows thousands of people gathered in complete disregard for physical distancing and limited use of face masks.
