Deputy Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kwaku Boahen has alleged that the newly commissioned 41-bed Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital to provide quality and adequate health care to children came into being as a result of monies Nana Appiah, the embattled CEO of Menzgold gave the First Lady.
The First Lady, on Wednesday inaugurated a modern PICU for the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) in Accra.
The facility, built by the Rebecca Foundation, is first of its kind at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) in its 96 years of existence. This replaces the old Children’s Emergency Ward, which had not seen any renovation since its construction in the 1960s.
“Nana Appiah Mensah, known as NAM1, is a close associate of Ghana’s First Lady, Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo”, Kwaku Boahen said on Happy FM’s Epa Hoa Daben show.
“Today, the money NAM1 gave our First lady is what has been used to build the PIC unit in Korle-Bu. NAM 1 was sponsoring Rebecca foundation. The Health Minister, Kwaku Agyemang-Manu confirmed on Asempa FM that is it true NAM 1 who is being held in police custody in Dubai for defrauding people and businessmen gave the first lady money used for most of her foundation operations. NAM 1 was very close to Rebecca Akufo-Addo.”
He added that, on several occasions the First Lady had publicly admitted that Nana Appiah is one of the main sponsors of her foundation.
“Haven’t you heard the first lady saying that one of the main sponsors of her foundation is NAM 1.? What I’m saying is true. If you think i’m telling lies, check myjoyonline and atinkaonline; you will see the pictures and letters that Rebecca wrote to NAM 1 congratulating him for the good works. Check it.”
