The leadership of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) has denied claims it took bribes from President John Evans Atta Mills in order to call off a three-week strike.
The GMA leadership says no amount of bribe can induce the doctors to compromise their integrity.
The Al-Hajj newspaper on Thursday reported that some aggrieved doctors within the GMA are up in arms against the leadership of the association over what they described as betrayal of trust.
The aggrieved doctors also claimed the leadership of the GMA failed to consult the rank and file of the association before calling off the strike.
Speaking to Citi News on Thursday, the assistant general secretary of the GMA, Dr Frank Serebuor, denied the allegations describing them as complete falsehood.
“The decision to call off the strike was a council decision," he said. "We are a democratic association, so we actually work with numbers and not individuals and majority of the members felt that we call off the strike based on the issues that we have already put in the public domain. ”
Dr Serebuor added: “We know our people are of high integrity, the president, vice president and the general secretary are all people who would never stoop so low and go for bribes.”
