Chairman of Doscar Group Holdings, Oscar Yao Doe has suggested to the Akufo-Addo administration to factor innocent Ghanaian taxpayers into consideration while expending their money on projects.
He particularly pointed out the wide difference in the amount spent by the government to acquire 307 ambulances, as compared to prevalent global market prices.
A comparison by the multimillionaire of the price of one ambulance (using the current price on Alibaba.com) against the cost announced by the government, shows a big difference of about $25m (GHS143m). "This whoping amount could have been expended on other projects that will benefit Ghanaians, if the government had done well to protect the public purse", he said.

My Brother, how on earth do you expect the state to buy such a product from alibaba? In any case this amount also comes with insuranc; that's if you are not aware. The car rental business you are operating, do you buy the cars from alibaba? Massa, If you want to be given the contract next time come out clear and submit your bid...simple!

@Jack. Why attack WK when it is right there to read that "Please, Next Time Do Your Best To Protect The Public Purse, Do Not Use $133,000 To Purchase An Item That Is Available Online For $51,000."? Is it so difficult to read to the end before attacking other commentators?
@Wilson Kofi, That is why he said Government could have done better by engaging in extensive market comparisons."Next Time, Comb The Market Very Well To Compare Prices Before You Commit Taxpayers' Money Into A Transaction!
Will you personally buy a car from Alibaba?
