This was after the Western Regional Health Directorate of Ghana Health Service (GHS) headed by Dr.

According to him, the actions being taken by the Minister and management of the Western Regional Health Directorate to revoke the award given to him would not stop him from supporting the people and institutions in his gold mining host communities in the Western Region.

The Western Regional Health Directorate made some unsubstantiated accusations against my person and company, Okoben Mining Company Limited in the letter, which has since gone viral on social media platforms.

The letter read in parts; “The Western Regional Health Directorate routinely honours individuals for their support to the health sector as part of our Annual Performance Review process

I declare unequivocally and emphatically that I, Nana Okoben Amponsah, have received an award from the Ghana Health Service in the Western Regional Health Directorate in Takoradi for my modest contributions to society in the area of health care development, particularly to the Western Region’s healthcare delivery system.

The Western Regional Health Directorate noted in the accompanying citation to the award, which was presented by the Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, that I had been a pillar of support in the Prestea Huni Valley enclave for many years.

Facts and evidence available to me indicate that the Western Regional Minister, Mr Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, masterminds the decision by the Western Regional Health Directorate to revoke the Partnership Award I received.
