Politics
Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga,
The Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, has called for the termination of the government’s contract with Zipline for drone delivery of essential medicines, arguing that the arrangement has become a waste of state resources.
His remarks follow a request by the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, for the Health Minister to appear before Parliament next week to brief the House on efforts to restore Zipline’s operations at three centres closed down due to the government’s GH₵175 million debt.
Addressing Parliament, Mahama Ayariga stated that the Ghana Health Service (GHS) is fully capable of acquiring its own drones to deliver critical medical supplies to hard-to-reach communities, eliminating the need for the costly contract
