Quit nursing job or apply for leave, aspiring MP warned

Audio By Carbonatix

Aspiring Progressive People's Party (PPP) parliamentary candidate for Tano South Constituency, says he will not resign nor apply for a leave of absence because his work does not conflict with his political activities.

Timothy Anabila who works as a nursing officer in charge of Anti Retroviral Therapy at the Bechem Government Hospital has come under a lot of pressure from the Medical Superintendent of the District Director of Health Service, Dr Emmanuel Agyei-Darko to leave his post in the wake of engaging in political activities.

A letter signed by Dr Agyei-Darko is requesting Mr Anabila to resign or apply for leave.

The letter, written on July 14, also states that his decision to contest a political seat is against public and civil service policies and regulations and can be seen as a conflict of interest.

But speaking to Joy News' Precious Semevor, Mr Anabila disagrees with Dr Agyei-Darko adding he will continue his work which doesn't conflict with his political career.

He suspects political opponents to be behind this.
