‘Land litigations cause of delay in constructing 88 district hospitals’
The Minister-designate for Health, Mr Kwaku Agyemang-Manu, has assured the nation that the 88 district hospitals promised Ghanaians by President Akufo-Addo would definitely be delivered, and that the idea had not been abandoned.
According to Mr Agyemang Manu, the projects had delayed because there were litigations over the sites earmarked for construction.
Mr Agyemang-Manu said this when he appeared before a-26-member Appointment Committee of Parliament, chaired by Mr Joseph Osei-Owusu, First Deputy Speaker and Member of Parliament (MP) for Bekwai, yesterday.
President Akufo-Addo, in one of his addresses to the nation on steps being taken to fight the Covid-19 pandemic, promised that his government would begin the construction of 88 hospitals in districts without some, with the intention of completing them in a year.

“In Parliament today, Labour was pushed to justify their use of urgency to rush through a Bill to get rid of a public veto on Māori wards, and they couldn’t,” National’s Local Government spokesperson Christopher Luxon says.
