After the pandemic plagued the world, Ghana was plunged into dire economic hardships. The government never seized any opportunity to remind Ghanaians that the pandemic had injured the economy gravely. However, many Ghanaians did not seem to buy into the "PR gimmicks" the government had employed. One such Ghanaian is investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure, who has detailed some of the things that happened "behind the scenes" as far as the pandemic is contained in his latest book titled "The President Ghana Never Got". In chapter 30 titled "The Scandal Akufo-Addo Initiated," he wrote, "It was natural to think that the pandemic would cause them to reflect and attempt to act reasonably, but those in charge did not miss an opportunity to create avenues to loot." According to him, the country's health facilities were overstretched and starved of the necessary equipment needed to aid the fight against the pandemic.
