The project's commissioning has been characterized as unlawful by Euroget De-Invest, an Egyptian investment firm that was given the contract to construct nine hospitals throughout the nation, including the Ashanti Regional Hospital in Sewua, in the Bosomtwe District of Ashanti.

In a statement, the business revealed that the project was not finished enough to be put into service.

Following the facility's commissioning by the president, the statement was released.

On January 5, 2025, Said Deraz, Group Chairman of Euroget De-Invest, issued and signed a statement stating that the government had not yet fulfilled its full financial obligations to the contractors and that the hospital project was not yet finished and turned over to the government.

"The commissioning was carried out in clear contravention of the conditions of our contract," he said.

The event "raises serious concerns regarding legal and contractual obligations," the statement continued, even as it acknowledged the significance of healthcare facilities in the Ashanti Region.



It is crucial to emphasize that Euroget De-Invest S.A. has not yet been paid in full for the hospital's construction. Additionally, the project is still unfinished and has not been formally turned over to the government yet.



"As the contractor, we keep the site until the project is properly and legally turned over. The declaration stated that we "absolutely did not authorize any party to enter the site for commissioning purposes."



"No one was granted access to the site by Euroget. Until we turn it over in a proper and lawful way, possession remains ours," the statement continued.



"This is a contract violation. We haven't turned over, and because the President is suggesting that he could have commissioned those hospitals without costing us anything, every effort should be made to recover damages against any prior commissioning.



It went on to say that "the government's commissioning without consulting Euroget raises questions about the sanctity of contracts and adherence to legal protocols." Regarding this alleged commissioning, the firm that provided the funds for the hospital's development was not consulted. Furthermore, Euroget was not represented at the occasion, which further highlights our isolation from a significant project milestone.

The commissioning "constitutes a serious breach of security concerning the hospital," according to the corporation. It shows a lack of respect for the law and commercial agreements to enter the property without our consent in order to commission the hospital when it is still unfinished and the contractor is not paid in full.

It is impossible to ignore the degree of anarchy this situation reflects. This remark is supported by the images of the hospital's current condition that are attached to this release," it continued.

"We are left questioning the motives behind such an action as we approach Ghana's transition of power," the statement read. Why would a departing president commit such a crime only three days before leaving office? It is important to emphasize that the timing of this commissioning raises questions regarding the validity of the measures implemented and whether they are motivated by political motivations rather than the needs of the people who depend on these medical facilities.

Understanding the ramifications of these activities is essential for all parties involved, including the general public. For everyone involved, the commissioning of the Ashanti Regional 250-bed Hospital should have been a source of pride and accomplishment, but instead it has become a cause of conflict and uncertainty. "We implore the government to uphold the rule of law and fulfill its contractual commitments," the statement added.

The business has urged the appropriate authorities to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the situation in the interim.

"The government's actions not only compromise the project's integrity, but they also create a concerning precedent for government contracts and projects in the future. According to the statement, the Ashanti Region's citizens deserve better than to having their healthcare system mired in legal issues and contract infractions.

We hope that the administration will understand the value of due process in all of its interactions and that this matter may be settled peacefully. It further stated, "We are ready to take all necessary actions to defend our rights and pursue damages for any contract violations that may have taken place.
