Minister-Designate for Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, has said it will be difficult for him to reveal the amount of money spent so far on the Covid-19 fight.
According to him, though the exact amount is not readily available, the government has already exhausted some $100 million dollars that was allocated.
However, he added the government is in the process to secure an additional $120 million loan from the World Bank to support the fight.
He revealed this while responding to a question by a member of the Appointments Committee, Eric Opoku and the ranking Member, Haruna Iddrisu during his vetting on Wednesday.
