I call on the Ministry of Health to immediately withdraw this unconstitutional directive. The said senior staff of the Health Service currently participating in political activities are acting well within their rights and as public servants, are wholly protected under Ghana's constitution.
On April 13, 2023, the Ministry of Health (MOH) issued a circular number MOH.KA3.17/17/01 captioned, “Engagement of Public Officers in Partisan Politics” and signed by the Ag. Chief Director of the Ministry, Emma Ofori Agyemang (Mrs.) on behalf of the Minister of Health. The circular is widely circulated in social media hence it is public knowledge.
