I’ll deal with anyone who approaches me for $150 COVID-19 test – Kwaw Kese

Rapper Kwaw Kese says he is not ready to pay the government’s $150 when he gets to the Kotoka International Airport from his current trip outside Ghana

According to him, the Coronavirus test in the United States where he has been for seven months is $5 so he is not ready to pay $150.;

To him,. charging $150 is tantamount to extortion which must not be given oxygen to survive.

In a video he shared on his social media pages sighted by MyNewsGh.com, 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 coming to my own house, 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 warned.

The Government of Ghana charges $150 per test run at the Kotoka International Airport to ensure that visitors and people returning to Ghana are safe and not COVID-19 positive.
