He explained that Dr Anaba was only on secondment at the Hospital from UDS. Mr. Agyemang Manu told Parliament Dr. Anaba was even drawing his salaries from UDS while he was the medical director of the Ridge Hospital. “Dr. Anaba was on secondment, he hadn’t resigned from the University of Development studies. He still had the job waiting for him and therefore Ghana Health Serivce couldn’t have contained him when we had completed and we were trying operationalise the facility. We needed somebody to be there permanently,” the Minister explained. He added “”we didn’t want to take any risk on that matter and that is why we requested he goes back to his previous position so we can put a more permanent person in the facility,” The Minister also said it was not correct that Dr. Anaba was given a four year contract, saying “Dr Anaba appointment was on contract for two years and not four years”.
