According to the Pratt, the multiple falsehoods being peddled by government officials suggests there is a ‘godfather’ behind the scenes who is being protected. Kwesi Pratt’s comment is on the back of some statements made by Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman Manu before the bi-partisan committee probing the initial purchase of the Russian-made jabs. Agyeman Manu admitted before the committee that due process was not followed in striking the deal with the Sheikh Al-Makhtoum for the supply of Sputnik V vaccines. “I had plans to come to seek approval from the House after I have signed the contract. “And I came to Parliament and informed the House that this is what I had done and, therefore, I need regularisation and approval...” he said.
