Outspoken parliamentarian confirmed that in an interview with an Assin Fosu – based radio station, Nkwa Fm, when he was called to give his advice to the people of Assin and its environs on how to curb the spread of the pandemic disease.
He said that, he suspects contracting the disease either on his birthday or through visiting some patients at the various hospitals that he generously donated some PPEs to in his quest to help fight the deadly corona virus.
“Were you people not surprised to have not seen a whole me visiting the various registration centers in my constituency during the voter registration exercise? I had then tested positive for the disease and was being managed in my house by health personnel”, he explained.
The parliamentarian then shared with the public the difficulties he went through as symptoms of the COVID-19. He explained that, he had difficulties breathing especially at nights and could not have a comfortable living for even a second without the air conditioner.
