President Adama Barrow is ‘flagrantly’ defying Covid-19 public health regulations imposed by his government, Dr Ismaila Ceesay said in a tweet on Saturday.
President Barrow has in past days been holding meetings to give his consent on infrastructural project works across the country.
The meetings which are held out-door often give little regard to social distancing and the mandatory wearing of face mask amid the coronavirus pandemic.
According to Dr Ismaila Ceesay, the president is violating the public health regulations set by his government.
“Gathering large mask-less crowds during a pandemic is reckless, irresponsible and a potential public health hazard. This blatant disregard for the rule of law must stop immediately,” Dr Ceesay tweeted Saturday.
In another tweet, Dr Ceesay addressed the president directly by saying: “@BarrowPresident you keep schools closed as part of your government’s measures to contain COVID-19. Yet, you irresponsibly gather hundreds of children to line the streets and welcome you and your entourage. Isn’t this selfishness and poor judgment? Or is it poor leadership?”
