Simon Osei-Mensah, Ashanti Regional Minister
The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, has congratulated the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following its keen competition with governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the just-ended presidential and parliamentary elections.
According to him, the NDC took him by surprise with the “magical” performance put out in the election.
Appearing on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo on Friday and contributing to a discussion about the elections, the Ashanti Minister said although he doubted the NPP of losing this election, he is overwhelmed by the battle given them by NDC.
The Minister could not fathom why the NDC will give NPP such a hot race despite the introduction of all its flagship policies as well as “pro-poor policies” targeted at communities.

A former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Professor Ohene Adjei, has expressed shock over the decision to demolish the 45˗year-old uncompleted Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) of the hospital to allow for the construction of an entirely new building.
He said during his tenure at the hospital, all the reports conducted on the building indicated that it was in good condition and could be completed for use.
Speaking in an interview with the Daily Graphic in Kumasi last Friday, he said the government at that time approached an American company for assistance to complete the project and ˝when they came to assess the building, they never gave any indication that it was not fit for purpose˝.
