The Board Chairman of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital\u00a0has revealed that\u00a0he and other management members have been \u00a0receiving death threats over their disagreement with the hospital\u2019s Senior Staff Association.<\/p>\n
Edward Annan at a press conference on Wednesday rejected claims made by the Association in a petition to President John Mahama that the board\u00a0is mismanaging the hospital\u2019s internally generated funds.<\/p>\n
They have been accused of buying expensive luxurious vehicles for the board and the some management members when there are pressing issues to be dealt with at the hospital.<\/p>\n
Board Chair, Edward Annan condemned the death threats insisting, his detractors are deliberately thwarting attempts to fix the problems at the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have got threats saying that if I\u2019m going to go the way I\u2019m going, I should be careful they don\u2019t kill me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He alleged that some unknown persons attempted to break into the office of internal auditor \u201cbut thank God after trying after half an hour, they couldn\u2019t break into the room.<\/p>\n
The Chief Internal Auditor is said to have subsequently cleared all the documents in the office and kept them in a safe.<\/p>\n
Mr. Annan said he is convinced that \u201cthere are dedicated people in this institution who don\u2019t want the right thing to be done and they want the wrong thing to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Korle Bu board chair also mentioned that the internal auditor has received text messages \u201cwarning him that he shouldn\u2019t go where he is going. I\u2019ve had a lot of calls telling me that the old gang who for whatever reason have been sacked will continue haunting the institution if we continue doing what we are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
