Health Minister designate, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu has dismissed rumours that he’s unfit to carry on with his duty as health minister.
This follows a question posed to him during his vetting by Parliament’s Appointments Committee on an audio that emerged last year, purporting that he meant that he was tired of carrying on in his job as a minister during the peak of the Coronavirus fight.
Dismissing the claims, Mr Manu insisted that he’s in good sharp, challenging the committee to verify his fitness from his wife who was also present at the vetting.
“I have the privilege of having my wife here, so probably, she can assist me in answering that question. The translation of what I said here is wrong; 100% wrong. I made this admonition at a function in my constituency, Dormaa Ahenkro and I spoke in Bono so whoever did the translation got it entirely wrong and that is not what I meant.
“So, it’s unfortunate that this has come back here but that is not what I meant. I was trying to tell people that they should have sympathy on those of us who are fighting the battle and listen to the admonitions we were putting into the public domain. I didn’t say it on radio and maybe let us correct that too. So, I think I have corrected the facts and I am not tired; you can ask my wife,” he said.
