Nana Akufo Addo has revealed that some benevolent Ghanaians have started making their donations to help fight Covid-19.
MyNewsGh says an eight-member board has since been inaugurated by the President of Ghana for the COVID-19 fund. Government set up a fund for the public including individuals and Corporate entities to donate to support the government’s drive to fight the deadly Coronavirus.
The report further adds that Board which was inaugurated today at the Jubilee House will be Chaired by former Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo and is expected to coordinate the reception of donations and the disbursement of such.
Speaking at the inauguration, the President disclosed that well-meaning Ghanaians home and abroad want to donate towards the fight against the deadly disease and underscored the need to have a structured way of handling such donations to ensure accountability and fair distribution.
“I felt that the best way was to establish a public trust, so that the monies that come do not get intermingled with Government money and all of those problems. A public trust that is to be managed by an independent body of trustees, so that people will see that these monies are being properly accounted for and properly deployed.”
