Controversial social commentator Kwame Asare Obeng known popularly as A Plus has challenged the new Special Prosecutor to investigate issues surrounding the supply of Sputnik V vaccines.
Although the Minister of Health denied any payment been made for the 300,000 supplies to be done, it emerged later that the country had made payments and therefore had to seek a refund after the Minister was cited for procurement breaches.
Controversial social commentator Kwame Asare Obeng known popularly as A Plus has challenged the new Special Prosecutor to investigate issues surrounding the supply of Sputnik V vaccines.
It has emerged that the Health Minister in his quest to procure vaccines for the fight against the deadly COVID-19 used the services of middlemen to procure some of Russia’s Sputnik-V vaccines but at a higher cost of US$19 other than the original factory price of US$ 10.
Although the Minister of Health denied any payment been made for the 300,000 supplies to be done, it emerged later that the country had made payments and therefore had to seek a refund after the Minister was cited for procurement breaches.
“By this letter, I also wish to formally request for the refund of the remaining amount for the non-supplied doses, which should be the total amount paid to your office minus the amount due for the 20,000 doses you already supplied, in line with your earlier e-mail dated 25th July 2021 in which it was affirmed that on the 13th of April, 2021, funds were transferred into your accounts as fifty percent (50%) advance for the initial batch of 300,000 doses.”
Reacting to the Special Prosecutor taking office, Kwame A Plus as he is popularly known challenged Kissi Agyebeng to investigate the saga if he wants the people of Ghana to believe he is coming to work for their good.
A Plus believes that deal goes beyond the Health Minister and therefore Kissi Agyebeng may be given the sack if he attempts to investigate the issues.
He said “Changing logo is good but it won’t change much. If you are a man Investigate Sputnik V vaccine and let’s clap for you. Like they will sack you the next morning”.
