A social media user is wondering why Health Minister Mr. Agyeman Babu is walking around freely when there are accusations that he caused the country to lose about $80 million.
The Auditor-General reported in Jan 2022 that $80m worth of vaccines paid for by the government have not been delivered.
It said government disbursed more than $120 million to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT), but only goods valued at $38 million were received.
In addition, the report revealed that out of the over US$2.5bn (¢21bn) raised for Covid-19 efforts, only 25% (¢5.5bn) was allocated to healthcare. The remaining funds were directed towards government initiatives like Free SHS and LEAP.
Furthermore, Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang Manu defended his decision not to seek Parliamentary approval for a contract with Sheik Maktoum to procure Covid-19 vaccines in 2021.
Can it be proven that the health Minister blew $80 mill USD ? That buys a lot of pot holes in Ghana’s. ROADS Today’s exchange rate of about 13ghc to USD just over one Billion GHC.
AND THE PRESIDENT ONLY STOOD THE GUY DOWN THE OTHER DAY? I have to say,from the time the covid 19 virus got going, about March 2020 onwards….Money was going in around in all directions and there was no accountability for anything, and some got rich from it ,make no mistake..
But that’s what happens ,when you have a Government running around like a chook with its head cut off…..THEY ( THE GOVERNMENT) DIDN’T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO……IT WAS CHAOS IN GHANA.
Please check your facts before going out to falsely accuse someone of any malfeasance.
Francis – what are the facts? Please make them puic – we are interested.
