Persons in the Ho Municipality
of the Volta Region who fail to wear nose masks in public places will be made
to pay a spot fine of GH¢20.
This comes after the Ho Municipal Assembly passed a by-law to
that effect.
The Volta Regional Minister Dr Archibald Letsa in a Citi
News interview said the Regional Security Council has
instituted a task force at the various assemblies to oversee the implementation
of the directive.
“The Ho Municipality passed a by-law to institute a fine of a
minimum of GH¢20 for those who will not comply with the directive of wearing a
face mask. We are in the regional capital and we know what is going on. There
is a lot of enforcement in the Ho township.”
The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his 11th
address made the wearing of face masks mandatory.
He pointed out the Police and law enforcement agencies will
enforce this directive through an Executive Instrument.
“With the doctors and scientists telling us that the virus is
transmitted from human contact, through talking, singing, coughing and
sneezing, which results in sending droplets of the virus from one person to
another, residents of these four regions, and, indeed, all Ghanaians, must
remember that the wearing of masks is now mandatory.”
“Leaving our homes without a face mask or face covering on is
an offence. The Police have been instructed to enforce this directive, which is
the subject of an Executive Instrument,” the President said in his address to
the nation on Sunday.”
