Military personnel on Wednesday (10 June) blocked members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority on the health committee in parliament from entering the Afari Military Hospital in the Ashanti Region, where they had planned to hold a press conference.
The team led by Effiduase/Asokore MP and Ranking Member on the Health Committee of Parliament however expressed shock when the military men detailed on the ground, attempted to prevent them from touring the project.
Separately, reports indicated that the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) had moved to dismiss a security officer linked to the handling of the Minority’s visit.
The lawmakers had intended to draw attention to the near-completion of the facility and to call for its operationalisation, while criticising the government over delays in putting the hospital into use.
According to the Minority, the hospital, which has been under construction for several years, remains non-operational despite significant progress on the project.
