Party hia sika... Big Brother IMF won't allow it. So let's fake trial and get campaign money...lol
Issue happened in 2014. I'm just wondering why they only went to court in 2019...

The drugs was confiscated in 2013, and got destroyed in 2015. Have you asked yourself why is Tobinco seeking damages and interests from 2015, but not 2013 when the drugs were seized?
Think my country men and women.
Intelligence should tell you that , items siezed at 2013 were not destroyed but were destroyed in 2015. Meaning items were not returned. However all needed information needs to collated before you go to court . All issues go ...

Investigate the process used by the GSA to arrive at the decision to seize & destroy Tobinco's property & surcharge those found to have not done due diligence with part of the judgement debt
Why was Opuni not invited by FDA as a witness? This is a game my people. Inviting Opuni would mean exposing the rot and losing out on the create loot and share!
I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you... Congrats. Oho)yaw saaaa.
Are you a Christian? Do, you support someone who uses FAKE PRODUCTS to make medicines? Which G-d do you worship? One of money???
So who is going to pay this amount? The Ghanaian people or the nations money ? For a country without basic social security for hungry youth?
Good for rule of law
FDA gone rouge.
very good sound Judgement
How can unregistered medicines be allowed to even enter the country. How can Tobinco be allowed to sell non approved and non registered medicines. The ruling is very strange. Then let us all import and sell non approved and n ...

What sort of English don"t you understand?
your observation and comprehension are woefully inadequate.
He/she is unbelievable
Observer they have to go to court before destroying the drugs.
@Observer, who's forcing you to comment on an issue that you don't understand at all?
Observer read the judgment carefully. Your understanding is a departure of basic logic.
What a daft moron.
Ask again ooo? We make mockery of ourselves. Opuni did the night thing. This is standard practice everywhere—public health is more important than money.

Ask again ooo. Sad
GH¢93,905,760 million
Eih.... Even the Ghana don't have that money
They shd let Opuni pay this.
His vendetta caused all this
Illiterate, check when the drugs were destroyed. Opuni was not the boss of FDA. we all know where this is coming from. Your things were burnt in 2015, you went to court in 2019, proper hearing started in 2021 and won judgemen ...

Hey check your records 2013/ 2014 through Lordina Mahama, Dr Opuni was FDA Boss before his appointment as COCOBOD CEO.
@Sensible Man please keep your ignorance to yourself.
Yea I remember a friend of mine who runs a drug store told me about this issue. How FDA guys were moving from one drug store to another ceasing TOBINCO PRODUCTS ONLY.
@Citizen8 and Bullet: I know you people have comprehension problem. What I wrote was the fact! Get yourself the entire ruling and read.
Yes they were confiscated between Sept and November 2013 under Opuni. He joined COCOBO ...

The FDA manager is also happy that they will pay that money. After work she will go and collect her share. Like what happened at Kasoa Akweley court
Some of the things mahama's opuni did at fda.
Yes some of the things they did to save you from your early grave...your level of ignorance won't allow you to appreciate that.
Causing financial loss to the state. Over $ 6 million in financial loss to the state.
This is some of the stupid actions taken by Dr Opuni when he was FDA boss. The current boss had nothing to do with it. Should Dr Opuni be made to pay or sued for causing financial loss to the state?
The ruling is by NPP judge. Judgement debt to share the money among themselves. Why is the AG not appealing against a High Court ruling
Are these cassava and yam bribe accepting judges telling us that Opuni and then FDA set up just decided to seize and destroy wholesome and effective drugs brought into the country? Just because of their hatred of Tobinco? Whi ...

toke b3l3@Ask Charles who killed Diana
So this happened in 2014 under that incompetent Mahama govt? Now who is going to pay this huge figure of money to tobinco? Is it not this current govt? The CEO of fda in 2014 should be arrested and charged with causing financ ...

Madam Judge,did you look at the Scientific facts behind FDA seizing and destroying the said chemicals. Thank God that those drugs never went to the market to kill innocent and poor Ghanaians because of greed and profit.

How come. There should be an appeal
Seizing fake or dangerous drugs is a good thing. Destroying them without appropriate authority is contrary to the law. Sometimes we think we can commit a crime while doing good. That's wrong.
It's like catching a shoplift ...

Gyimifoo. The judge didn't even allowed FDA to argue their case but gave her ruling. Why is it that some people think they know more than every professional in the country? Of course she looked at all the facts before her so ...

In 2013/2014, NDC apparatchiks like Dr. Opuni and their police workers brigade in the person of Atinga Bio seized Tobinco's imported drugs because they suspected him of being an NPP financier, I suggest Atinga Bio and Dr. Opu ...

Wait a minute! So FDA didn't have lawyers to advice them??? What's going on in this country? Why do these heads of organisations think they have absolute power?
A purely political case
Opuni should be charged for financial lost to the state to serve as a deterent for this behaviour.
Conspiracy between the FDA CEO and the pharmaceutical company to rob Ghana
This is a clear case of create, loot and share.
As such FDA did not mount strong defense to this case. if not how can unregistered drugs be imported and sold to Ghanaians?
Godfred Dame is not showing interest in this case. He has quickly agreed to the outcome of the case. No appeal
If you have not had a challenging experience with the FDA,you would know what people go through in the hands of this corrupt agency.
All of you are not saying the truth. Why would fda confiscate drugs belonging to tobico? Was the same tobico and entrance pharmaceutical that the ndc government supported them with funds expand? So will the the same ndc gover ...

Tobinco is a criminal..npp is just covering for him...how can a whole institution destroy drugs without test..
Why put Mimi‘s face in there when she wasn’t CEO in 2014? Prolly because of her suit with Graphic??
Opuni should be made to pay for this. Only then will public officials learn to operate within the law's remit.
Yes, if that is the case, have they invited him until all these monies are going to be paid?
lot and share
These people know how to steal money. This is a clever way to drain and siphon all the accumulated internally generated funds into their bottomless pockets..The greed and robbery is unprecedented.
Incompetent and Jelous FDA and Ghana people. Don't want to see fellow Ghanaian move forward. Use her pension to pay part of settlement. Incompetent leadership.

How can a national court issue such a gargantuan debt against the state no matter the justification, you mean Ghanaians are going to pay this amount because of one man’s decision. Dissolve the FDA then!
This has made my day.
Nana, you’re supporting criminals?
The court should order the person who ordered the destruction of the drugs to pay the said amount for negligently causing financial loss to the company.
Happy for Mr Tobinco. It really affected his business
