“Some are not wearing the masks, some are wearing them inside out, some are wearing them upside down,” Madam Ayamba said on the Floor.
On her part, the Minister for Communications, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, questioned why the Adaklu MP, Kwame Agbodza, was wearing the mask on his mouth without covering his nose whilst speaking on the Floor.
“If we are to wear the masks, let’s wear them properly. He’s breaking out all kinds of organisms and breathing out bacteria,” she said.
