The Public Relations Officer of NACOVERC in the Southern Region, Anthony Newman Levay has spoken tough against the sale of COVID 19 vaccination card.
Speaking to this Medium in Bo, Mr. Levay said that “we have all heard about the information that is that the Anti-Corruption Scorpion Squad struck and arrested some staff of DICOVERC in Western Area on allegations of selling COVID 19 Cards and I want to inform the people of the south that it is free’’.
According to him, nobody has the right to sell or buy it as NACOVERC or DICOVERC staff are all getting their risk allowances and should be satisfied with it’’.
Mr. Levay said that nobody should be tempted to involve into the sale of COVID -19 vaccination card as it is a serious offence and it`s good that you don’t dent your reputation and integrity.
“Always make sure that you serve the nation to the best of your ability without involving in corruption that will erode your credibility and integrity’’ he cautioned.
This warning is coming at time when the Scorpion Squad of the ACC struck and arrested some staff of DICOVERC in the western area who was allegedly involved in the sale of COVID-19 Vaccination Card.
However, the civil society activist in the southern region said that they will monitor the COVID 19 Vaccination process to ensure that there is no repeat of what happened in the western Area.
The Regional Convener of Civil Society in the Southern Region, Mustapha Kpaka said that the southern region office of NACOVERC should ensure that a thorough monitoring is put in place so that staffs do not sell the vaccination card.
Mr. Kpaka encouraged those above 30 years to go and take the COVID 19 vaccine.
