Dancehall artist Stonebwoy has pleaded with government to consider reducing the $150 Covid-19 test fee for all arriving passengers at the Kotoka International Airport.
The singer makes this call after he made a trip to an African country and returned.
Passengers who arrive at the airport as part of COVID-19 protocols must take a test at the cost of $150 per person.
But many have questioned the considerations that went into the arrival on the $150 fee for the PCR tests.
Stonebwoy stated that December is around the corner and many Ghanaians would love to return home.
In his view many people might not be able to afford the cost of the Covid-19 test in these hard times.
Stonebwoy begged for a reduction in the cost of the test so a lot of people can afford.
He also questioned why returnees who have had a negative result would be made to test again at the airport since a certificate from Ghana does not require any tests at arrivals in any other country.
“It’s only Ghana that’s doing this to its people or all the other African countries have united in making it tuff (sic) for their people…” he quizzed.
