Workers of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) are protesting the removal of their Acting CEO, Dr Felix Kwaku Anyah.
According to the aggrieved Korle Bu workers, Dr Anyaa brought remarkable changes at the hospital so they deserve some explanation.
“He is a loving CEO and unlike others we have had in the past, Dr Anyaa has the interest of the hospital at heart and is not looting our coffers like some of his predecessors,” one of them said.
“Dr Anyaa has brought stability and championed development at Korle Bu so we do not understand why he has been given the boot,” another worker said.

The reasons for the termination of his appointment are not immediately known, although his contract cancellation comes in the wake of seeming waves of dismissal of CEOs of state agencies by the President.
Already, the Managing Director of the Bulk Oil and Storage Transport (BOST), Alfred Obeng Boateng; CEO of Ghana Export Promotion Authority, Gifty Klenam; MD of the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority (GHAPOHA), Paul Ansah have all been sacked by Nana Akufo-Addo on Wednesday.
These dismissals have generated a wave of agitations among some workers at the various state institutions.
The protesting workers told Joy News’ Kwesi Parker Wilson, they are giving their leadership 72 days to come up with an explanation or they will lay down their tools.

Interestingly, Dr Felix Anyaa has so far enjoyed a cordial working relationship with the workers of the Hospital since his appointment in May last year.
This is very unusual with past CEOs of the country’s biggest hospital who have been accused by the staff of looting the hospital’s coffers among other allegations.
