Dr. Barnabas Gandau, medical director dismissed from the Wa Regional Hospital, revealed that he had not received his salary and other allowances that were owed him during the past three years.

"I would have to pay back 25,000 GH ¢ of salary advance on my salary / GHS benefits, which they refused to pay for that forced me to resign." This is the first reason. Where will I get money if, for three and a half years, the government has not paid me a pesewa to be able to support my family and pay off my interest-bearing debts every month? " he questioned in a statement revealed by MyNewsGh.com.

The Licensed Medical Director took office at the Regional Hospital in 2016 after being seconded from the University of Development Studies (UDS). In just one year, 2016-2017, an internal audit report covering this period revealed an alleged breach in financial management. from the hospital, leading to embezzlement and misuse of funds under his supervision.

The internal audit report recommended that on March 24, 2019, Dr. Gandau be required to reimburse GH ¢ 25,000, which has not yet been reimbursed.

But, reacting to the directive, he said: "This request, I must say, was tainted by the first DG team sent after that of Regional Minister with the RDHS commissioned. In the opinion of the DG forensic team, the accountant did a poor job in writing the payday advance application himself so that I could approve and sign the check that he personally to keep the payment slip for its future diabolical reference. I must say that my accountant and my wife have been my patients for over 13 years now. By my oath of Hippocrates, he knew how to use it against me whenever I tried to question him about any performance. "
