The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has issued a 72-hour ultimatum for the immediate dismissal of Ashanti Region National Service Scheme(NSS) Director Opoku Mensah.
The seemingly angry nurses are threatening to withdraw their services at the Manhyia District Hospital if the 72-hour ultimatum expires without dismissing Mr Opoku Mensah.
The whole issue is premised on an audio recording emanated from Manhyia District Hospital in the Ashanti Region in which a male voice purported to be that of Ashanti Region NSS director is heard raining insults on a nurse.

Speaking exclusively on Akoma FM‘s current affairs and political show GhanAkoma Tuesday, November 29, Ashanti Region Chairman for GRNMA Jones Afriyie Anto told host of the show Aduanaba Kofi Asante Ennin that “it is rather unfortunate that a whole regional director of National Service Scheme rains insults on a nurse and for that matter all nurses in Ghana. We are calling for the immediate dismissal of the director else we will withdraw all our services from the Manhyia District Hospital”.
Several attempts to call the said director, Opoku Mensah, for his side of the story proved futile at the time this report was filed.
The GRNMA has since issued press release to press home their demand.
right way you lose it easily,” he said.
Former New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Obuasi East, Edward Ennin, has bemoaned the level of wealth accumulation by some members of the current administration.
Speaking in an interview with Kwame Nkrumah Tikese of Okay FM on Monday, November 28, 2022, the former MP expressed worry about the quest for personal wealth that characterizes the current political class.
“Do you know the reason why I don’t find politics attractive anymore? There are so many of them who are ministers today that I know them very well. A lot of them used to come around when we were in parliament in those days. They will follow you around for GHC100, but they are now millionaires.I look at that and ask myself if it is the same kind of politics we used to do. Levels don change now,” he said.
Despite his concerns about members of the government of his own political party, Mr. Ennin said the issue cuts across the political divide as the situation will be no different if the opposition National Democratic Congress comes to power.
“But even with NDC, the noise they are making now is hunger-induced. If they get the advantage, they will do worse,” he said.
The former MP, however, noted that politicians who amass wealth dishonestly tend to lose it all when they live power.
“But God has a way of doing his things; you will lose all the money just after 8 years of being out of office… if you don’t make money the right way, you lose it easily,” he said.
