Written by on July 26, 2024

The Ministry of Health has strongly denied claims of a $34.9 million payment to Ghana Auto Group Limited for spare parts.

These allegations, made by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament for North Tongu, suggest that a procurement deal for ambulance spare parts worth $34 million involved collusion between former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, former Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, and the private company to defraud the state.

In a statement issued on Thursday, July 25, the Ministry of Health refuted these claims and expressed its commitment to supporting any investigations aimed at clarifying the matter.

“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.”

“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 reaffirmed its commitment to establishing a sustainable maintenance regime for all fleets procured for the National Ambulance Service.

“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.”
