The Board Chairman of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), Rev Prof Seth Andrew Aryeetey has said he wholeheartedly forgives his detractors who are bent on tarnishing his hard won reputation.
He said even though he is baffled at the kind of lies being peddled around to make him look like a bad person before the former honourary Director at the National Cardiothoracic Center (NCC), Prof Kwabena Frimpong Boateng, as the one who engineered his dismissal, he nonetheless bears them no grudge.
Rev Prof Seth Aryeetey was responding to criticisms that he had taken advantage of his closeness to President Mills to spearhead the ongoing impasse at the National Cardiothoracic Center (NCC) that had accounted for the dismissal of Prof Kwabena Frimpong Boateng.
Prof Frimpong Boateng was sacked as the Honourary Director of the NCC recently amidst allegations that Rev Prof Aryeetey engineered the dismissal.
But speaking to Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem Thursday, he stated that all those assertions were unfounded and wicked lies adding that people are peddling lies against him without any cause and questioned the motive for these lies against him.
He denied rumours that he took advantage of his Association to the Presidency to get his way at the KBTH as Board Chairman.
The Board Chairman for the KBTH was also unhappy at the manner in which he was being questioned on the show and said the host, Adakabre was crucifying him with the kind of questions he was asking.
“Who gave you that information, I’m not the kind of person they are saying I am. These are wicked lies. I served at the World Vision International as chairman, go and ask what I did there. I’m saying it is not true, why are you believing what they are saying, what is your agenda,” Rev Prof Aryeetey questioned.
He maintained that his family and that of Prof Frimpong Boateng were very close so he wondered why some people wanted to create enmity between the two families.
Rev Prof Aryeetey said as a Christian he is ready to suffer for Christ’s sake, so he is not perturbed about this development.
Responding to claims that the KBTH, which is twice the size of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) generates less revenue compared to the latter, Rev Prof Seth Aryeetey said he was not in a position to answer why it was so.
He called for the establishment of another board to have oversight responsibility of all the semi autonomous bodies located within KBTH.
