I didn't take any allowance from Korle Bu – Dismissed CEO

Dismissed CEO of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has stated that his service to the institution during his one-year period was purely based on selflessness and complete love for the nation.

His dedication he says, drove him to render service to the hospital without seeking for any gratification or reward of any sort; he calls it 'service to God and the nation'. Speaking at a handing-over ceremony Monday June 11, the former CEO explained that he took nothing, not even something as common as water from the hospital for all the service he rendered, at some points from his very own pocket.

“I have neither used the resources of this hospital for my personal comfort nor caused my vehicles to draw fuel on the Hospitals account. I paid my driver, arranged for my security and lived in private house because I saw this as my contribution to the development of our Hospital for Mother Ghana, I don’t even drink water for Korle-Bu”, he said.
His comments come on the back of his dismissal by President Akufo-Addo. Dr. Felix Anyah was dismissed along with some other Heads of State agencies without specific reasons.

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 also had their contracts terminated by Akufo-Addo on June 6, 2018.

Dr. Felix Anyah took over from Dr. Samuel Asiamah who was the acting CEO of the hospital following the self-termination of service by Dr. Gilbert Buckle who reportedly ended his service in February 2017.
