Officials from the Economic and Organised Crime Office EOCO have taken into custody the contractor hired to build the Weija Children's Hospital.

The arrest happened after the contractor met with the Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh.

The meeting was about the project's delays and why the hospital is not yet ready for use.

The hospital, meant for children, has faced significant setbacks preventing its operationalization.

EOCO is investigating the reasons behind the prolonged delays.

Further details on the contractor's questioning and the investigation's progress are expected.

The health ministry has expressed concerns over the delayed completion of this vital facility.

This action by EOCO signals a serious approach to addressing project mismanagement in public infrastructure.
