Minister-designate for health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, has said he is hopeful by close of the week frontline health workers will be duly paid their allowances.
Speaking during his ministerial vetting, Mr Agyeman- Manu acknowledged the frontline workers who have put their life on the line to combat the novel Coronavirus.
When asked why such a recognition has not yet been translated into monetary form, the outgoing Health Minister stated “we are doing our best”.
He attributed the delays to inconsistencies in data and said he has asked the facility managers to review the list.
