Richard Ahiagbah, Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has demanded the removal of Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, citing his mishandling of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) strike.
“Honourable Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Minister for Health, must go. He should have been gone. He must go. He must go home—leave the Ministry and go home. Completely unacceptable behaviour,” Ahiagbah declared.
Ahiagbah criticized Akandoh’s track record, recalling his time as Ranking Member on the Health Committee. “Did you see the things he was doing and saying? He accused Dr. Agyemang-Manu of looking on for a strike—a local strike in Kumasi, Komfo Anokye—over administrative professional matters.”
The NPP official slammed Akandoh’s proposed solutions, particularly recalling retired nurses. “That kind of hardball he was playing with people’s health was repugnant, for which reason he must be gone,” Ahiagbah asserted. “People actually died.”
