Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah is kind of fed up with Ghanaians who are making fun of the deadly coronavirus after Ghana confirmed two cases yesterday.

According to him, the conspiracy theories about when the government got to know about the two confirmed cases are baseless and must be discarded.

Speaking in an interview on Starr FM and monitored by Gossips24.com, he cautioned Ghanaians who are playing politics with the Coronavirus situation in Ghana.

He said; “But let me caution, there’s a trend in this country; when serious matters come up, people are interested in politics and conspiracy theories and jokes on social media …

“This is not the time to joke or conspire about matters like this. We have to spend our airtime, our social media pages, sharing information on how to prevent contact so that we can save lives … not spend time tickling ourselves in conspiracy theories,” he added
