Speaking for the first time upon his return to the office on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, Basintale directly tackled the rumours.

The YEA CEO specifically denied the widespread social media claims that he had suffered a stroke. He reassured staff, stakeholders, and Ghanaians that he is in good health and is fully capable of resuming his official responsibilities.
During his return, Basintale was seen actively engaging with staff, attending meetings, and performing his routine duties, signalling a full resumption of work. His public appearance and a circulating video of his address have helped to quell the rumours that had persisted during his absence.
