A former member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Lord Hamah, has questioned the rationale behind Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa’s spirited fights against Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s purchase of proper ambulances for Ghana’s health sector.
To him, progressives should focus on pressuring the President to do more for the country rather than fight against the betterment of the country.
He argued that when the National Democratic Congress had the opportunity to procure ambulances for Ghana’s Health sector, they rather brought in coffins.
Therefore, it does not make sense that such people would attack a forward-thinking president who seeks the well-being of the people.
His Facebook post read, “I don’t get it. The NDC committed public funds for coffins.
The government of NAADA brought in first-rate sophisticated ambulance services with trained personnel.
What we must look at is that NAADA has done well, but progressives must hold the obligation to pressure him to do more.
I will not celebrate the use of state funds to purchase mobile coffins disguised as ambulances”.
Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is in a spirited fight against the Presidency over the purchase of 307 ambulances for the country.
He alleges corruption in the procurement of the ambulances, indicating that Serive Suto Limited, which is linked to the procurement of the Ambulances, have links to the daughters of the President.
Okudzeto Ablakwa has since petitioned the Office of the Special Prosecutor to investigate the purchase of the Ambulances and the subsequent budget for spare parts for the ambulances.
