\nKwaku Tetteh, the Municipal Chief Executive of Lower Manya Krobo Assembly in
\nthe Eastern Region has rescued the two victims who have been detained at the
\nSt. Joseph Hospital in Koforidua over failure to pay their medical bills.<\/p>\n

Ruth

\nduring the clash between residents of Odumase Krobo and
\nthe police over the Electricity tariffs that were being charge by Power
\nDistribution Service (PDS) recently.<\/p>\n

The two who
\nhad been discharged but were unable to pay GH\u00a26,580 and GH\u00a28,000 medical bills respectively
\nwere \u2018detained.\u2019<\/p>\n

Both made
\nan initial deposit of Ghc2000 paid by the Lower Manya Krobo Municipal Assembly
\na month ago following a directive by the Regional Minister, Eric Kwakye Darfuor
\nto the assembly to foot the medical bills of all seven persons injured during
\nthe clashes.<\/p>\n

The MCE on
\nThursday, after hearing about the \u201cdetention\u201d of the two victims
\nrushed to the hospital to broker a payment agreement with the management of the
\nhealth facility.<\/p>\n

The two
\nvictims have since been released but Ruth is expected to be discharged later
\ndue to some medical procedure on her Amputated leg.<\/p>\n

\nlegs after she was caught up in the Police clashes with the agitating power
\nconsumers while returning from school and as a result, she could not take part
\nin the just ended Basic Education Certificate Examination.<\/p>\n

Her right
\nknee was penetrated by the bullet while the left leg suffered minor injury by
\nanother bullet.<\/p>\n

The right
\nleg of Ruth Mankattah, was amputated on June 12, 2019, by Orthopedic Surgeons
\nafter several diagnoses and treatment failed to heal the injured limp due to
\nthe gravity of the injury.<\/p>\n

\nTetteh was similarly shot in the leg and has undergone successful surgery.<\/p>\n

During the
\nclash, a 24-year-old was shot dead with seven others sustaining injuries while
\nother 35 persons were also arrested.<\/p>\n
