President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says the Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, has endured a lot of suffering at the Ministry but remains resolute.

Speaking in the Bono Region on Tuesday, August 10, 2021, during his two-day tour of the region, President Akufo-Addo singled out the Health Minister as one of the illustrious sons from the Bono Region who has served well in his administration.

Mr Agyeman-Manu is currently under intense criticism for breaching procurement processes while trying to secure the Sputnik V vaccines for Ghana.

Although the President did not address that issue, his comments came hours after the Minister took a two-week leave from work amidst pressure to resign over the botched procurement.
