The member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North in the Ashanti Region, Collins Adomako Mensah, has stunned NDC Member of Parliament for Twifo Atti Morkwa in the Central Region, David Theophilus Dominic Vondee.
In a viral video, Collins Adomako Mensah boldly claimed that the NDC has never built, completed and operationalised a single hospital in the Ashanti Region.
The Member of Parliament for Twifo Atti Morkwa in the Central Region, when quizzed to name one hospital started and completed by the NDC in the Ashanti Region, got stunned and responded with an exclamation, “Herh!”
Speaking on Adom TV’s Badwam programme on June 9, 2026, Adomako Mensah challenged the NDC MP, saying, “I challenge you to mention one hospital in the Ashanti region that was started and completed by the NDC. Name one? Bekwai was started 40 years ago, and Akufo-Addo completed it.
Fomena NDC, John Mahama started it in 2014, but they were not able to complete it. Kumawu, we came to complete it. Kononogo Kufuor started it; we came to complete it. Give me one hospital that you have stated in the Ashanti region and completed”.
He further added, “You have come, we have commissioned three Agenda 111, come and operationalised it, it has been one and a half years, all you know is I have allocated funds to the Agric Ministry. Which has led to a fight.
Everyone wants to become president in Ghana, and you are disgracing the president. Today, the Chief of Staff, any letter from the presidency that comes out is from the secretary to the president, because the Chief of Staff himself wants to be President, competing with his appointees”.
The heated debate follows the doctors and nurses at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) have suspended their industrial action over the suspension of Chief Executive Officer Dr Paa Kwesi Baidoo.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, June 9, the Komfo Anokye Doctors’ Association (KADA) announced the suspension following engagements with the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Hospital Board, management and other stakeholders.
Part of the statement issued read, “The Komfo Anokye Doctors’ Association (KADA) wishes to inform the general public that the industrial action embarked upon by its members has been suspended with effect from today, 9th June, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
This decision has been made following fruitful engagements and the timely intervention of His Royal Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Hospital Board, Management and other key stakeholders who have demonstrated commitment towards addressing the concerns that led to the industrial action.
While KADA remains committed to ensuring that the issues that occasioned the strike are fully resolved, we have carefully considered the potential impact of the prolonged action on patient care and public health. The safety and well-being of patients and the broader public interest remain central to our responsibilities, and these have informed our decision to suspend the action and continue the dialogue.
KADA expresses its profound gratitude to Otumfuo Osei Tutu I1, the Board, Management, and all stakeholders for their efforts in facilitating dialogue and fostering a path toward an amicable resolution of the outstanding issues.
We are particularly grateful to the National Executive Council (NEC) and membership of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) for their unwavering support and intervention in this important matter”.
The statement follows, the Ministry of Health (MoH) in a statement who has said the decision to suspend the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) Chief Executive Officer, Dr Paa Kwesi Baidoo, was taken in the interest of accountability.
According to the Health Ministry, the ongoing industrial action by doctors and nurses at KATH is unfortunate.
The Health Ministry disclosed that the suspension was a carefully considered administrative decision taken in the interest of accountability, patient safety, and adherence to established procedures within the health sector.
