It is however unclear whether President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo will accept the resignation or not.

Pressure has been mounting on the Health Minister, following revelations that he entered into a contract with a middleman with parliamentary approval.

Appearing before the Parliamentary Committee that probed the Sputnik V vaccine contract, Kwaku Agyemang-Manu admitted that he erred in sanctioning the deal.

Pressure group, OccupyGhana, the Minority Caucus in Parliament, OMANI’s Kofi Bentil, and Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu have been at the forefront calling for the head of the Minister.


Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, maintains that his side will not back down on their push to get the Health Minister out of the job.

“We will not abandon this matter. If the President does not revoke the appointment of the Minister for Health, we will request him through a vote of censorship to consider that matter”.
