A former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Professor Agyeman Badu Akosa, has launched a stinging critique against Members of Parliament, accusing them of turning their backs on the very people they were elected to serve. "Nobody is prepared to help anybody.
Everybody is prepared to help themselves.

His comments drew attention to what he described as an alarming misuse of public funds in Parliament. "Last Friday, Parliament gave each Member of Parliament GH¢200,000 for GETFund projects and an additional GH¢150,000 to monitor those projects.
