Parliament Summons Apologetic Prof. Dodoo again
22.07.2015 LISTEN

The Privileges Committee of Ghana's parliament has dragged Scientist and Lecturer at the School of Medicine and Dentistry of the University of Ghana Professor Alex Dodoo before it again.

The WHO staff is scheduled to appear before the Committee on Thursday, July 23, 2015, according to a letter addressed to him.

'You are kindly invited upon Parliament on Thursday 23rd July… you are kindly reminded of your right to be represented by a counsel of your choice on the said date,' the letter read in part.

The lecturer incurred the wrath of the lawmakers following his claim that MPs are 'ignorant' and lacked knowledge on the Ebola vaccine trial which was scheduled to take place in Ghana.

He apologised to Parliament for describing them as 'ignorant' when he appeared before them on July 14.

It is unclear why the Scientist has been re-invited.

The Ministry of Health suspended the Ebola Vaccine trial after news broke about the clandestine procedure under which the trial was being conducted in the Volta region.
