Ghanaian rapper, Kwaw Kese says he is not ready to pay government’s $150 COVID-19 testing fee when he gets to the Kotoka International Airport.
According to the actor, coronavirus test in the United States where he is currently based costs just $5 hence, he will resist Ghana government’s exorbitant fee of $150.
To him, charging $150 is tantamount to extortion and must not be condoned.
In a video he shared on his social media page, the rapper said;
“I’m coming home after seven months of staying away from Ghana due to lockdown. I came to work for money but that was not possible and I’ve spent all my money. So as I’m returning back home, you want to charge me $150 when the same test is done for $5 here? Well, this is extortion. I’m coming to Ghana and If anyone wants he should tell me to pay $150 and I will deal with them,” he remarked.
