The Member of Parliament for Ayensuano, Samuel Aye Paye, says President John Evans Attah Mills has been misled into directing Professor Frimpong Boateng who has been sacked as the Director of the National Cardiothoracic Center to hand over the administration of the Center within one month.
The President yesterday directed Professor Frimpong Boateng to deliver his handing over notes after a meeting with officials of the Health Ministry and the Ghana Medical Association to settle the impasse that had ensued at the Cardiothoracic Center as a result of the dismissal of the renowned Heart Surgeon.
However speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem programme, the Member of Parliament for Ayensuano, Samuel Aye Paye states that the President did not receive adequate briefing on Professor Frimpong Boateng’s work at the Heart Center, as the renowned Heart Surgeon had already handed over the administrative running of the Cardiothoracic Center four years ago.
He says whoever briefed the President yesterday must be held responsible for expose the President to some amount of ridicule as it clearly shows he had not received a thorough briefing on Professor Frimpong Boateng administrative work at the Cardiothoracic Center.
“How can a President direct someone who has already handed the day to day administrative running of the Cardiothoracic Center four (4) years ago to once again handover? This is a bit weird, such room must not be allowed for the President to be mocked’’ he said.
Hon. Aye Paye notes that Professor Frimpong Boateng has been treated unfairly by the way he was relieved of his position, adding that he should have been accorded a dignifying exit.
