The Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has indicated that former Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman-Manu will soon be taken to court over investigations into the procurement of Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccines and the COVID Frontier matter.
He explained that claims that no action has been taken against the former minister are not accurate.
Speaking in an interview on Joy news, Mr Kwakye Ofosu noted that the former minister has already been arrested and questioned by investigators from the National Intelligence Bureau.
He disclosed that the former minister was arrested some months ago and later released after cooperating with investigators.
According to him, two separate dockets have been prepared against Mr Agyeman-Manu in relation to the Sputnik V vaccine procurement and the COVID Frontier case.
“He was arrested and interrogated. He wrote a caution statement and investigations have been completed. Two dockets have been prepared in respect of him,” he explained.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu further indicated that the Office of the Attorney General is currently preparing charges and the former minister will be arraigned before court in the coming weeks.
He noted that the charges are expected to include offences such as causing financial loss to the state and breaches of the country’s procurement laws.
The minister added that although Mr Agyeman-Manu is currently not in custody, the appropriate security agencies are handling the matter.
“It is not true that he has not been touched and is walking free. He has been dealt with by the appropriate security agencies and will be taken to court soon,” he stated.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu explained that in many cases, suspects who are under investigation or even standing trial are granted bail unless there are exceptional circumstances that require them to remain in custody.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
