Dr Anaba sued the state for what he says is the wrongful termination of his contract.
The suit is seeking the Court to declare that the decision of the Minister of Health was unlawful, and therefore null and void.
It is also asking that Dr Anaba be reinstated as the Medical Director of the facility.
He is also asking that the court prevents the Health Minister and any other person from taking any unreasonable or unfair decision against the applicant.

It is unclear why the Public Service Commission and the government terminated his appointment.
However, the Health Minister Kwaku Agyemang-Manu said Dr Anaba is no longer useful at the facility and is unfit to manage the hospital since he has no managerial skills.
