Communications Director for the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), George Ayisi, has asked the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to stop the propaganda about the monies spent by the state during the three-week lockdown period.
Mr Ayisi has urged opposition members with issues regarding the expenses to hold their horses and wait for the parliament’s Budget Planning Committee report.
He has condemned the actions of members of the opposition who are jumping the gun and accusing the government of financial misappropriation of monies spent.
He made the assertion in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem morning show on Thursday.
