“We are going to the Ministry of Health with all our parents as well as our mattresses and mosquito nets and will only leave there the time or day our financial clearance will be released to us,†the group said in an earlier statement signed by the General Secretary Achire Abraham.
The group after issuing the threat some two weeks ago in a new statement today said, “leadership till now haven’t had any positive response from the ministry regarding our financial clearance hence our quest to fight for what is rightfully ours as professionals and Ghanaians as a whole.”
