Health Minister consented to making his covid case public - Vim Lady
Afia Pokuaa known in the media circles as Vim Lady
has refuted claims by the Health
Minister-designate Kwaku Agyeman-Manu that her
call to him when he contracted the deadly virus
was private and didn’t have to be made public.

During the first wave of the COVID-19, the Health
Minister contracted the disease; this was widely
reported by sections of the media.

However, in a conversation with Vim Lady, the
Health Minister denied contracting the disease but
rather indicated that he was on his usual medical
checkup at the University of Ghana Medical
Center.

“Spoke to the minister of health. He says he’s
fine and doesn’t have covid but only needed rest
and his usual medication,” Afia Pokuaa posted.

However, it was later confirmed by President Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that he had contracted the
disease and was receiving treatment.

But speaking at his vetting, the Minister
indicated that his chat with the Journalist was a
private conversation which should not have made
way into the public domain.

Reacting to the Minister’s position, Afia Pokuaa
has expressed shock at the posturing of Kwaku
Agyeman-Manu which presupposes that she lied to
the people of Ghana about his condition.

“The Minister at vetting said our conversation
was a private conversation. What shows it was a
private conversation? If I get bored and I say
I’m going to produce the recorded conversation
between him and I, there will be a problem. I
specifically asked that can I put it out there and
you said yes,” she said on Accra-based Okay FM.
