Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has addressed rumors surrounding his health.
Over the past few months, the Minister has been seen in pictures looking a little different from his usual self.
In an interview on Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana programme, he admitted he hasn’t been feeling well for sometime due to liver complications.
He told Paul Adom-Otchere on the ‘Good Evening Ghana’ show that, he has been diagnosed with jaundice and after some series of tests, it was discovered that his liver was inflamed.
He explained, “I got COVID in somewhere of November and got out of the hospital emergency maybe the 10th of December and came home. Things were pretty good, the COVID was gone, then, I began to feel jaundiced and so feeling quite unwell.
“I eventually got diagnosed that the liver was inflamed, therefore, it required some work to determine what was really happening. That took some time to begin to find the probable cure which involved steroids and all of that.
“So, I went back for review in August and the inflammation is pretty much gone and so, they are now titrating to see how to bring the steroids down so that one can get back to a normal life.
“But essentially pretty much minded and need to manage my rest and sleep and exercises and some good food,” Ken Ofori-Atta noted.
