It is pathetic nothing is working in the country right now – Mintah Akandoh chides government
The government has been called out, especially the Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta by the legislator for Juaboso who happens to be a member of the Health Committee in Parliament, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh for its failure to pay National Health Insurance Authorities levies accrued since 2021.
Mr Kwabena Akandoh described the unfortunate development as pathetic.
The frustrated legislator while briefing the media in parliament lamented that nothing seems to be working in Ghana at the moment.
“It is rather unfortunate that nothing seems to be working in this country at this point in time, very pathetic,” he said.
He added “As I speak to you, we all know that Covid is still with us and therefore, we should not take our health facilities in this country for granted.
“But the bad news for you is, since July 2021, the Minister responsible for finance has not paid the levies collected in the name of the National Health Insurance Levy to the National Health Insurance Fund and therefore, the service providers for the scheme are threatening to withdraw their services.
“This is how bad it is,” he noted.
