The Ministry of Health has said that service provider, Ghana Auto Group Limited, has not been paid an amount of $34.9 million for Amubialnce spare parts as widely reported.
This follows a claim by the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who had alleged that a procurement deal for ambulance spare parts worth $34 million was a collusion between former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, former Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, and the private company to defraud the state.
The Ministry of Health in a statement dated Thursday, July 25, said “The Ministry of Health would like to clarify that the Service Provider, Ghana Auto Group Limited, has not been paid an amount of $34.9 million as widely reported.”
It added “All documentation covering this transaction is a matter of public record and can be accessed by the public. The Ministry of Health is ready to support any effort that will bring further clarity to this issue in the interest of the public.”
“The Ministry of Health is committed to ensuring a sustainable maintenance regime for all fleets procured for the National Ambulance Service to provide reliable, efficient, and safe emergency medical services.”
