The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), Dr Delese Darko, has been accused of not putting up a good fight in the suit filed against the authority by Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Tobinco in 2019 sued the FDA, accusing the authority of unlawfully seizing and destroying their drugs. The High Court in Accra, which has been hearing the case, has now ruled in favour of the pharmaceutical company and ordered the FDA to pay it about GH¢94m in judgment debt. A 2017 letter by Dr Delese Darko, addressed to lawyers of Tobinco, Akufo-Addo, Prempeh & Co, has now gone viral. In the said letter, the FDA boss, in response to a letter from the lawyers, said that the authority did nothing wrong with the actions it took against the pharmaceutical company.
