Deputy General Secretary of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho wants the health status of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia depoliticized and cautioned those who jubilated when news broke that the second gentleman of land fell ill to be wary.

“I will be the last person to talk and ridicule the health of Dr. Bawumia and other persons in government”, he promised.

“Human beings are created for sicknesses and death. …if you are happy with somebody’s sicknesses and death you are just ridiculing yourself”, Mr. Koku Anyidoho pointed out.

Speaking on the arrival of the Vice President into the country after a 12-day medical leave in UK, the NDC Deputy General Secretary in charge of operations accused government communications of mismanaging information regarding the health of status of the Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

“I welcome him home. But I expect him to come and start work Ghanaians have given him and his boss”, the outspoken NDC National Officer spoke on Kumasi-based Nhyira FM morning show.

Dr Bawumia had been out of the country for 12 days on medical leave. He was said to have reported sick and was advised to take a break.

The Minority demanded full disclosure on the health status of the vice president and accused the government of covering up the extent of sickness. But the Information Minister Mustapha Hamid insisted the request by the Minority was untenable, insisting the health of every individual must remain a private issue.
