Member of Parliament for Evalue Ajomoro Gwira Arko Kofi Nokoe, has said Ghana’s continues closure of its land borders particularly with La Cote d’ lvoire is really troubling.
According to him sixty-five (65) percent of Nzema indigens are across the border in La Cote d’Ivoire and the boarder is the heart beat of the Nzema land.
He said they trade, and transact other businesses with their Ivorian counterparts, but “now activities in Nzema land is dead, people are struggling in this COVID-19 era”.
In an interview, he pointed out that people who patronized hotels in the Nzema land are no longer coming in and her colleague the MP for Jomoro made a statement on the floor of the House, pointing out that people are committing suicide.
“It’s a fact, and we are appealing to the President to open the border. Its closure has become a headache, when the boarder is opened the COVID-19 protocols would be followed, people have to work and eat as COVID-19 has come to stay with us”, he stated
