A Plus has labelled the $150 COVID-19 test fee at the Kotoka Airport as evil.

He exclaimed that the action of the government is pure wickedness especially when its Ghanaians that have to pay and not foreigners.

The leader of The People’s Project (TPP) alleged that individuals in the government are using the test to enrich themselves.

A Plus pointed out that the test in most countries is free for its citizens, citing the UAE as an example.

Even though the Akufo-Addo regime had earlier defended the price when it came under criticism initially, it said that the price is on the average as compared to countries running similar tests, A  Plus has said that the prices don't make any sense considering the resources that Ghana can boast of.

This comes after Stonebwoy had also called for the fee to be reduced.

The dancehall artiste begged the government to help its returning citizens by reducing the $150 Covid-19 test fees for all arriving passengers at the Kotoka International Airport.

According to him, the astronomical price of the mandatory tests for passengers that came into force on Tuesday, September 1 following the reopening of the airport after almost six months of closure is uncalled for.
