The Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA) has threatened to file an official petition at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service (GPS) if criminal investigations are not initiated to prosecute Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang Manu.

This comes after a report of the ad-hoc committee of Parliament set up to investigate the circumstances leading to the procurement of the Sputnik V vaccines by the Health Ministry through a middleman.

While ASEPA commends the committee for the work done, it says it believes the work of the Committee but its report wasn’t particularly thorough.

Insisting that the adverse findings made by the Committee are already issues Civil Society, experts, and well-meaning Ghanaians have already raised in the public domain, ASEPA says is giving the Attorney-General 48 hours to initiate criminal investigations against the Health Minister.

Failure to do so, ASEPA says it will formally file an already prepared petition to the CID to compel the AG to do the needful.

“A petition has been already prepared together with all relevant documents including the report of the ad-hoc committee of Parliament awaiting to be filed within the next 48 hours at the CID if the Attorney General fails to initiate the relevant legal processes against the health,”.
