Korle Bu CEO Wasn�t Re-Appointed- Group

The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has described claims that the dismissed acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Rev Albert Okpoti Botchwey has been re-appointed as �rumours�. The outgoing Minister of Health, Ms Sherry Ayittey early this month, ordered Rev. Botchwey to step down. But a letter purported to be signed by the newly sworn in Minister of Health, Dr. Kwaku Agyemang on Tuesday,overturned an earlier directive by his predecessor, Sherry Ayittey and reappointed Rev Botchwey as the CEO of the hospital. Responding to Mr. Kwarteng�s letter, the President of the Korle Bu Senior Staff Association(KOSSA)President, Charles Ofei Palm described stories about the letter as rumours since the hospital had not �officially or accidentally sighted� it. Mr. Offei Palm described any action contrary to the earlier directive by Ms Sherry Ayittey as � wonton disrespect and glorifying wrongdoing of established authority and Rule of Law.� Mr. Offei Palm further questioned the basis on which Mr. Kwarteng took the decision saying � one may ask what the Honuorable Minister learned in day to warrant the setting aside of earlier directives that were thought through, investigated and tested against established standards.�
