General News of Thursday, 4 May 2017Source: classfmonline.comHealth Minister is 'ignorant' – Bonded nursesMinister of Health, Kwaku Agyemang ManuThe Coalition of Unemployed Bonded Diploma Nurses has expressed outrage at the Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, over comments that its members’ postings were delayed because most of them had failed their exams. The nurses, comprising psychiatric nurses, general nurses, and midwives, on Monday April 24 picketed the ministry to pile further pressure on the government to accelerate their recruitment, saying they had remained jobless having left school in 2015 and since completing their national service in August 2016. Reacting to the Minister’s assertion in an interview with Class News, the spokesperson of the unemployed bonded nurses, Tina Mireku, said Mr Agyeman-Manu was “ignorant”. “We’ve done our service, we have our PIN (Personal Identification Number], we have our licences, what else is preventing the ministry from posting us? The minister is ignorant,” she said.
