Health Minister Defends Farming Background

Ghana’s Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has strongly dismissed criticisms suggesting that his farming background makes him unqualified to lead the Ministry of Health. The comments originated from Dr. David Tenkorang, General Secretary of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), who argued that the Minister lacked a deep understanding of hospital operations because “he is a farmer.” Addressing the matter at a press conference on Thursday, Mr. Akandoh described the remarks as misplaced and a needless distraction. He explained that effective leadership of the Health Ministry does not require a medical degree alone, but rather strategic leadership, policy implementation, and problem-solving capacity. “I have been reminded that I am a farmer.

Health Minister Defends Handshake with Activist

Ghana’s Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has defended his decision to shake hands with Ralph St. William, the social media activist accused of assaulting a health worker at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital. The handshake, captured on video during the minister’s visit to the hospital, drew public criticism with many perceiving it as an endorsement of the activist’s actions.

Even if he had been sentenced to life imprisonment, as a minister and a public officer, I have a duty to greet him back,” he clarified. According to the Minister, the […]
