Border personnel charged to be vigilant on Ebola disease
Bawku, Sept. 28, GNA - Mr Fritz Bafour, Chairman
of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Ebola
prevention at Ghana’s borders, has charged
security personnel and port nurses to be vigilant
to ensure that the disease did spread into the
country.

He said the disease could threaten the development
of the country and it would be necessary for
government to put up safety measures to ensure
that the country prevented the disease especially
at its borders.

Mr Bafour made the call during a visit to the
Misiga and Mognori Immigration check points near
Bawku on Thursday to obtain firsthand information
on measures being put in place to ensure that the
viral disease was kept away from the country.

He was accompanied by members of the select
committee to access the situation in the area as
reports have earlier indicated that the Ebola
disease was reported in the Bawku area which
turned out to be untrue.

The team was also briefed by the security agencies
operating in the area on the security situation
which called for the supply of adequate logistics
including transport and accommodation to enable
them to deliver.
