GHS Transport Manager Interdicted and Handed to Police Over Sale of 3 Vehicles for Just GH¢13,000

According to a report by JoyNews on Thursday October 8, 2026, the Ministry of Health has interdicted the Ghana Health Service (GHS) Northern Region Transport Manager over the alleged sale of three government vehicles for a total amount of GH¢13,000.

The matter came to light during a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) hearing, where concerns were raised over the disposal of the vehicles and the amount received from the transaction.

According to the information presented at the hearing, the three vehicles belonging to the Ghana Health Service were sold for GH¢13,000. The transaction has raised questions about whether proper procedures were followed in disposing of government property.

The Ministry of Health has since taken disciplinary action against the Transport Manager. He has been interdicted pending further investigations into the circumstances surrounding the sale of the vehicles.

The official has also been handed over to the police to assist with investigations. The move is expected to allow the relevant authorities to determine whether any laws or regulations were breached in the transaction.

The development has attracted attention at the PAC hearing because government vehicles and other public assets are expected to be disposed of through established procedures. Such processes are intended to protect public property and ensure that the state receives appropriate value for its assets.

The investigation will therefore seek to establish how the three vehicles were disposed of, who authorised the transaction, and whether the GH¢13,000 received represented their appropriate value.

The police are expected to conduct further investigations and take the necessary action based on their findings.

The case highlights the growing scrutiny of the management and disposal of government assets. It also comes as Parliament continues to examine how public institutions use state resources and whether officials follow the required financial and administrative procedures.

Further details are expected to emerge as investigations into the sale of the three vehicles continue.
