The former Head of Communications at the presidency believes there are enough grounds for Ghanaians to be apprised of the source of the money used to fund the Islamic Hospital in Accra Newtown.

"How does a presidential bodyguard amass enough wealth to build an "ultramodern" Hospital in Accra?" he questioned.

The President's bodyguard, only known as Gibrine Issah Tutu, through his First Gibrine Foundation sponsored the construction of the first-ever Islamic Hospital in the country.

Reports of him building a hospital have been met with mixed reactions as this is not the first time he has engaged in such philanthropic gestures.
