It will be recalled that the Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, appeared before an ad hoc Committee constituted by parliament to look into the controversial procurement of some 3.4 million doses of the Sputnik V vaccines for the country. The nine-member non-partisan Committee established among other things that the minister breached procurement processes and lied under oath. Since then, there have been many mounting calls for Kwaku Agyeman-Manu to resign as investigations continue. He [Kwaku Agyeman-Manu] told the Committee that he wasn’t aware of any payment made but it turned out that they had paid $2,850,000 out of $5,700,000 and there are just too many issues around this Sputnik V procurement. We’ve had health ministers sacked – the South African health minister is an example, and I think that President Akufo-Addo has to show some balls and show that he is really interested in helping us fight this, for the health and safety of all Ghanaians,” she explained.
