Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span> An Accra Circuit court has granted GH\u00a280,000.00 bail with three sureties to a Nation Builders Corps (NABCo) employee for dishonestly receiving and forging unauthorised Covid-19 vaccination cards allegedly at the Tema General Hospital.<\/p>\n

It also granted GH\u00a250,000.00 bail with three sureties, one to be justified each, to two others for allegedly stealing COVID-19 vaccination cards. Aaron Kofi Asante, the NABCO employee, pleaded not guilty for forgery of official document (forging COVID-19 vaccination cards by imputing unauthorised names) after acquiring the cards from the second and third accused persons.<\/p>\n

Kenneth Kojo Konadu, a Senior Finance Officer and Afia Nsiah Sarfo, a nurse, also denied stealing 39 and four COVID-19 vaccine cards, respectively, belonging to the Ghana Health Service.<\/p>\n

Asante was additionally charged for dishonestly receiving some stolen COVID-19 cards allegedly from Konadu and Afia. They will make their next appearance on March 8, 2022.<\/p>\n

Chief Inspector of Police Isaac Anquandah told the Court presided over by Mrs Ellen Offei Ayeh that Asante was a Nation Builders Corp person at the Tema General Hospital. Konadu was a Senior Finance Officer at the Tema Metro Health Directorate whilst Afia was also a nurse at the Tema General Hospital.<\/p>\n

The prosecution said in December 2021, the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) gathered that some health officials within Tema Metropolis issued and sold COVID-19 vaccination cards to people who had not been vaccinated.<\/p>\n

It said on December 13, 2021 intelligence led to the arrest of Asante whilst he was in the process of selling two of the vaccination cards with serial numbers COVID-19\/04616934 and COVID 19\/05695190 to witnesses in the case.<\/p>\n

Chief Inspector Anquandah said when a search was conducted in his room, seven of the vaccination cards were found, saying that Asante mentioned Konadu and Afia as his source of supply.<\/p>\n

The prosecution said Konadu, and Afia were later arrested where 34 of the COVID-19 vaccination cards were also retrieved from Konadu when a search was conducted in his room.<\/p>\n

Investigations revealed that the accused persons – Konadu and Afia were members of the COVID-19 vaccination teams that were engaged by the Tema Metro Health Directorate for the vaccination exercise, the Court heard.<\/p>\n

It was again established that whilst Konadu sold five of the cards to Asante at GH\u00a24,500.00, Afia sold four (4) of the cards to Asante at GH\u00a2150.00, it said.<\/p>\n

Chief Inspector Anquandah said investigations further indicated that Asante normally charged fees ranging between GH\u00a2300.00 and GH\u00a2800.00 in exchange for COVID-19 vaccination cards for individuals who needed the COVID-19 vaccination cards for travelling purposes but who did not want to be vaccinated.<\/p>\n
