Four hundred and thirty-nine personnel of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital have dragged the Chief Executive Officer of the Hospital, Professor Frimpong-Boateng and five others to court for an alleged fraudulent land transaction at Oyibi.
They are to answer questions over registered documents covering plots of land they had bought in 2004 for plaintiffs, including doctors, nurses, and laboratory technicians at Oyibi.
The plaintiffs are seeking an order compelling the defendants to possess the land for which they had paid 10 million cedis (1,000 Ghana cedis) each.
Alternatively, they are seeking an order of the court compelling defendants to refund monies collected from them, general damages for fraud, interest on their monies as well as cost.
The other defendants are Dr B.D.R. T Annan, Director of Medical Affairs, Mr Christopher Nartey, Director of Administration, Mr Emmanuel E.B. Annan Kakabaah, Director of Finance, Mr Alex Arhin, Secretary to Oyibi Land Committee and the Hospital.
When the suit commenced, the defendants did not file any defense hence plaintiffs filed a motion for judgment in default of defense.
The defendants say they “had not perpetuated any fraud on the plaintiffs” adding that the whole transaction is purely an in-house matter.
The High Court therefore adjourned the case to July 27, to enable the plaintiffs and defendants to attempt an out of court settlement.
