He said: “...since these monies have not been budgeted for already and has no plans for it, and Mental Health Authority requires 160 million cedis to clear all the patients on the street, not to hide them but to rehabilitate them, could this money not be given to them for this purpose? Dr. Akwasi further revealed that the Pantang Hospital requires 20 million cedis to erect a wall at a certain portion which for years hasn't been attended to by the authorities. "Could this money be given to the authority for purposes of clearing the streets of the nation, and also for the Pantang issue?" "This is an issue that we can take up and discuss. If you are committed to the mental hospital, and you say there is no money but this money is there, it has come, let's go for it," he stated.
