The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) 's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dr Delese Darko, has been accused of not fighting 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 letter, the FDA boss, responding to a letter from the lawyers, said that the authority did nothing wrong with its actions against the pharmaceutical company.
