Kwabena Mintah-Akandoh, the ranking member on Parliament’s Health Committee, has expressed strong distrust towards the management of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
He criticised the hospital for what he described as “double standards” in handling issues, particularly concerning the maintenance of facilities.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Joaboso’s comments came after a visit to the hospital, during which he confirmed a malfunctioning lift.
The hospital few hours after the MP’s visit announced that the malfunctioning lift had been fixed.
But speaking in an interview with Selorm Adonoo on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Monday, Akandoh emphasised his determination to ensure accountability and proper functioning of the hospital’s facilities.
“I don’t believe, and I don’t trust Korle Bu. I must be very honest. I have dealt with them for the past five to six years since I became the ranking member on the health committee. They always have double standards on issues and when I left about four hours later my information was that they had fixed the lift.”
“I will go back there tomorrow and again I am not going to write any application to anybody before I access that lift. Nobody can stop me from performing my parliamentary duties. Nobody not even the president,” he stated.
