The Member of Parliament for Akim Oda Alexander Akwasi Acquah has descended on the Minister of Health, Kwamena Mintah Akandoh for his action against the Chief Executive Officer of the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
Alexander Akwasi Acquah, a Minority member on Health Committee of Parliament described the Ministers sacking of the TTH CEO as arbitrary and capricious and must be condemned.
He said the CEO was lawfully approved by the board of the hospital. Therefore, the minister of health cannot just sack him with mere words.
The Akim Oda MP who was speaking at the Kumasi Regional Hospital, as part of the Health Committee Team 3 Regional Monitoring tour of health facilities in Ashanti, Eastern, Volta and the Greater Accra Regions said the CEO must be reinstated for due process to be followed.
Meanwhile, Dr. Thomas Anaba insisted that they were not at the place where the incident occurred, hence called for calm until they receive proper details before accusing the Minister’s action.
