The Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu is currently on a two-week leave to enable him attend to some personal issues.
Citi News understands that the request was granted by the Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema-Opare.
He officially began the leave last week.
Earlier reports suggested that the Minister had resigned from his position, but this claim has been debunked by persons close to Agyeman-Manu.
The Health Minister has come under intense criticism for breaching procurement processes while trying to secure Sputnik V vaccines for Ghana.
