PUBLIC NOTICE Clarification On Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Ltd V Food And Drugs Authority

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has noted with concern the manner in which the recent ruling in the case of Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. v. The Food and Drugs Authority is being reported in the media.

Some media reports suggest that the CEO Dr Delese Darko have been negligent in their actions thus causing the authority to suffer this loss.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Authority informs the public that this case stems from actions taken in 2013. Despite the claims made against the then CEO Dr. Stephen Opuni by the applicant, Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Ltd, the current leadership of the organisation
have provided a defence to the courts at all material times.

The action initiated against the FDA in 2019, has consistently and vigorously been responded to by the FDA.

The FDA acknowledges the judgement delivered by the High Court. However, the Authority respectfully disagrees with the decision and intends to exercise its right to appeal. The FDA remains committed to upholding the judicial process and adhering to the rule of law, and will follow due process until the matter is fully resolved.
