The ranking Member of Parliament’s committee on health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has said that the government should not be bias in sharing the critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) required by health workers in combating COVID-19.
According to the Member of Parliament (MP) for Juaboso Constituency, there was no need for equipment to be stocked in Accra without a plan to get them to the professionals who are in need of it in other regions.
“The equipment is stocked in Accra meanwhile the health workers need it … and if they are going to share they should make sure all the health workers will get and not be bias,” he told the media.
In the interview monitored by MyNewGh.com, the lawmaker added that the Minister of Health should come to Parliament with a distribution plan.
“The Minister responsible for health must appear on the floor of the House to give us the distribution list of the PPE. It is very important because we are not in normal times and people are complaining all over,” he said.
The Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu, also expressed similar concerns to Mr. Akandoh and demanded that the Health Minister appear before Parliament to brief members on recent happenings regarding the fight against the COVID-19.
