Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang Manu has reportedly begun a two-week leave as the storm sparked by his botched Sputnik vaccine deal with Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum rages on.
The Minister has been on leave since last week, media sources have said.
Ghanaians are calling for the removal of the minister following the flopped deal despite his effort to seek a refund from the Sheikh. The Minister had earlier denied paying money in the transaction.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook Al Maktoum has accepted to refund $2,470,000 paid to him by Ghana for the supply of 300,000 doses of Sputnik Covid-19 vaccines.
In response to the Minister’s letter, the Sheikh said he will refund the money and asked the Ministry to confirm the difference for onward payment.
