But the Ashanti Regional Minister-Designate Hon Simon Osei Mensah speaking in an interview with Abusua Fm Morning Show hosted by Kojo Marfo said the contractor is set to demolish the structure

According to Hon Simon Osei Mensah, “the contractor after assessing the building came to the conclusion that the building is not fit for the purpose, hence it has to be demolished”.

“Kojo, we all know the building has been abandoned for 45 years and it has become weak for its purpose as Maternity block. Though the building was awarded to a contractor when President Akufo-Addo cut sod for its reactivation but per the contractor’s advice after the project assessment, it has to be demolished” Hon Simon Osei Mensah revealed.
