I DEEPLY REGRET MY STATEMENT – Dr. Lawrence Tetteh Issues Apology And Retraction Over Controversial Hiv Comment

Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh has officially responded to the criticism he received for his comments on GTV’s Breakfast Show on October 24, 2024.

His comments, addressing delicate health matters and appearing to connect these issues to University of Ghana students, caused widespread worry and disapproval.

“I want to formally address the issues that have arisen from the comments I made on the GTV Breakfast Show,” Dr. Tetteh began in his apology. “The statements during the program were in no way intended to undermine the university, cause fear, stigma, or misinform the public.”

Rev. Dr. Tetteh said that the nature of his job means he interacts with numerous individuals who confide sensitive and confidential details in him.
“I deal with lots of people in my line of duty and get first-hand information on very sensitive issues they are faced with,” stressing that he values these confidences greatly and never discloses private information without careful thought, whether in public or in private.

Nevertheless, Rev. Dr. Tetteh recognized the unintentional result of connecting health issues to the university population “gave the university community cause for worry.” He added, “It is rather unfortunate that in referring to the youth with such problems, I linked or associated it with students of the University of Ghana.”

Dr. Tetteh apologized without conditions to the University of Ghana students, staff, and the general public, expressing his regret.

“I deeply regret the statement made concerning the health status of the students of the University of Ghana,” he said. “I wish to apologize and unconditionally retract the statements.”

His aim in releasing a statement to GTV and all media outlets was to remove any uncertainties and regain the trust of those impacted by his remarks.
