National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is pointing accusing fingers at Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta as the chief culprit in the botched Russian vaccine scandal.
According to him, Mr. Ofori-Atta as the Finance Minister solely approved payment of the whopping 160 billion cedis to the Dubai Sheikh for the illusive Sputnik V vaccine without Parliamentary approval and questioned why the over-concentration on the Health Minister.
Sammy Gyamfi, in a post on his Facebook Wall, stated that the Finance Minister is the same person without a transparent selection process engaged and paid his own company Enterprise Insurance an amount of110 billion cedis as COVID-19 insurance premium for health workers.
“Why is no one calling for the head of this corrupt Finance Minister? Is it because he is the cousin of the President,” he quizzed?
He argued that the reckless conduct of Mr. Ofori-Atta in paying millions of cedis for an unlawful Vaccine Supply Contract makes it imperative that Parliament conducts a bi-partisan probe into the entire government expenditure on COVID and related matters.

Why are we over-concentrating on the Health Minister in the discussion about the botched Sputnik Vaccine Supply deal when the chief culprit is none other than the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta, who without Parliamentary approval, paid a whopping 160 billion old Ghana cedis to the Dubai Sheikh.
This is the same person who without any transparent selection process, engaged and paid his own company, Enterprise Insurance a whopping 110 billion old Ghana cedis as COVID-19 insurance premium for health workers.
Why is no one calling for the head of this corrupt Finance Minister? Is it because he is the cousin of the President?
The reckless conduct of Ken Ofori Atta in paying millions of Ghana cedis for an unlawful Vaccine Supply contract makes it imperative that Parliament immediately conducts a bi-partisan probe into the entire government expenditure on COVID-19 and related matters. But even before that, #KenOforiAttaMustResign.
