The Ghana Health Service has declared MP for Tema West and former deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah COVID-19 Negative after passing two different tests.
In a letter addressed to the Tema East MP on Friday, July 9, 2020, and signed by the director-general of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye disclosed that Mr Ahenkorah has obtained two consecutive negative laboratory test results for COVID-19.
The MP came under severe criticism in the past week when it came to light that he had gone round to inspect the progress of the ongoing Voters Registration exercise despite knowing that he had tested positive for the deadly virus.
A massive pressure from Ghanaians forced him to tender his resignation as deputy minister for trade and industry, a resignation which was accepted by the President.
