The Member of Parliament for Effiduase/Asokore, Dr. , has called on the Minister of Finance, Dr. , to apologise for what he describes as misleading claims about the misuse of National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) funds.
Speaking with the media in Parliament on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, Dr.
Ayew Afriye insisted that statutory allocations to the NHIA are approved by Parliament, with input from both the Majority and Minority, making it difficult for the funds to be misused without scrutiny. "They are passing the buck, and I want the Minister of Finance to admit and apologize to the people of this country that the promise they made to uncap cannot be fulfilled.
In this budget, we expect nothing less than a full allocation of what was received in the Health Fund to the NHIA. "Now, if he talks about misuse, I disagree with that," he stated.
