Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has issued a bold challenge to the contractor of the Lightwave Health Information Management System (LHIMS), saying he is willing to resign if there is any proof that he demanded money or a commission.
Speaking on Adom TV’s Badwam morning show, Mr. Akandoh said, “If he has any evidence to show that I, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, have demanded even one Ghana cedi from him, I will step down immediately. Let him bring it out, and I will resign.”
He continued, “If there is any proof that I have taken money from him since I assumed office as Health Minister, I will resign without hesitation. These allegations are baseless and completely unfounded.”
Mr. Akandoh added that working in public office often attracts unfounded accusations.
“If you are in public office, some of these things will come. I am prepared for worse than this. But I stand firm that I have done nothing wrong,” he stressed.
His comments come amid ongoing tensions surrounding LHIMS, which manages and coordinates the digital health records of patients in hospitals across the country.
The minister has accused the vendor of deliberately shutting down the service following disagreements over a new service maintenance agreement.
Mr. Akandoh has reaffirmed his commitment to transparency and accountability in public service, insisting that he will continue to oversee health sector projects with integrity.
