Hon. Ambrose Dery, the minister for interior has declared his intention to protect hospitals by positioning policemen at the various hospitals in the country to ensure peace.
“We are going to make sure that we have Police now at the big hospitals and in fact as much as possible, in all hospitals because if people are sick and have to be attended to and we now believe that people can go out of the way to disrupt their work. We must protect them from such illegal act and that is a guarantee going forward,’’ he stated.
He made this known to journalists after the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), on Wednesday, 15 August, 2018.
This was said due to the attacks on the Tamale Teaching Hospital’s CEO which occurred on Monday. According to reports, the perpetrators are said to be members of NPP youth believed to be affiliated with Kandahar boys.
The young men stormed the offices of the Chief Executive on Monday and drove him out; citing incompetence and corruption on the part of the CEO.
The unidentified men alleged that the CEO, Dr David Kolbila has set up a number of companies that he uses to lobby for supplies for the hospital.
The four, said to be members of the Kandahar Boys, a Tamale-based vigilante group affiliated to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) were picked up from the base at Aboabo, a Tamale suburb on Wednesday afternoon.
