According to him, he had always criticised the fee until he travelled to Guinea and missed his flight because of the results of the COVID-19 test he took delayed, a situation he described as very uncomfortable.
His statement follows massive backlash and the subsequent presentation of a petition by a cross-section of Ghanaians to the government to reconsider the fee charged for the test at the airport.
But, reacting to the development on his Twitter page, the Founder of the Atta Mills Institute said though the $150 is high, it can produce results in less than 30 minutes.
He wrote: Honestly, I was a critic of the $150 COVID test @ KIA till I travelled to Guinea; missed flights bcos COVID test results over there took days to be completed. $150 is high but if it can produce COVID results in less than 30 minutes; the time value of money becomes key.
