The Minority in Parliament wants government to distribute ambulances procured for the one Constituency one ambulance program in 72 hours.
Addressing the media minority spokesperson on Health, Kwabena Minta Akandor said the ambulances, must be released immediately to serve their purpose across the country.
“From the time these ambulances were parked till 2020, do you know the number of people who would die because they could not get access to ambulances? I do not know whether they do not understand emergency purposes…We are calling on the President to immediately distribute the ambulances available so they can serve their purpose.”
“If you park the ambulances as we have done, I think we are doing a disservice to the country. The only time the taxpayer will get the full use and benefit from this investment is when these ambulances are in use and therefore I think we are even being charitable. We are giving the President a maximum of three days to distribute the ambulances,” he said.
At least 300 ambulances procured by the Akufo-Addo-led government have been parked at at the State House awaiting distribution since they arrived several months ago.
The arrival of the ambulances is part of the fulfilment of a promise made by President Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP Government in the build-up to the 2016 general elections.

you are as ***barred word*** like your ndc parliamentarian, and what happened to the ndc ambulances, were they in use? wait till the court cases begin
This remark from someone whose party ordered ambulances from Germany via Dubai, just to put money in their own pockets. Anyway, let it be known that this Akandor man comes from a constituency. And he knows very well that the prospective drivers are right now on a training course. As they are in every constituency. NDC knows this very well, but is simply playing to the fast diminishing gallery.
PLEASE KNOW THAT IT WAS THE LATE ATTA MILLS THAT INTRODUCED THE GHANA NATIONAL AMBULANCE SERVICE, TRUE OR FALSE
THE NPP HAS NOT IMPORTED ANY AMBULANCES. IF THEY HAVE THEN THEY SHOULD DISTRIBUTE THEM AND LETS SEE. WHEN THE NDC IMPORTED THE AMBULANCES THE NPP SAID THEY WERE TRO-TRO. SEE THEM NOW THE FEW THEY HAVE BROUGHT I KNOW DOES NOT HAVE THE COMPLIMENT FITTINGS, JUST LIKE THE NDC. LET ME SCHOOL FOLLOWERS OF THE NPP THAT CAME 5TO POWER BY LIES. KNOW THAT THE COMPANY WHICH PRODUCE THE BUSES ARE NOT THE SAME COMPANY PRODUCING THE GADGETS AND FITTING TO MAKE THE BUS AN AMBULANCE. THE SAME WAY THE NPP WILL BUY THE BUS AND CONTRACT OTHER COMPANIES FOR THE FITTINGS. BUT FOR THE NPP PROPAGANDA TOLD LIES AND THEY ARE IN THE SAME SOUP. TIME WILL FETCH YOU OUT AND THE LIES YOU PEDDLE WILL BE IN THE LIGHT. GET READY FOR 2020 WE GO SHOW NANA
Do you think you are in power. Who are you to order the President. The reasonable Nana knows how best to run the affairs of the this country
Do you know that, all the NDC think about is how to win elections, fair or foul? NDC bought 'tro-tro' vans to represent ambulances. They never disclosed it because it was a create-loot-and share enterprise. Now that the NPP has procured actual ambulances, they are crying for its distribution immediately. They are just afraid that, when it is distributed anytime in 2020, it will become a campaign tool for the NPP. But I want to assure them that, the ambulances will be shared in 2020, even if they cry blood.
Ei NDC will not cease to amaze me. When you imported empty ambulances to the country were you thinking about your actions?, let us think ok
***barred word*** there, when u were in government, what did u do, allow the president to work
the ambulances, must be released immediately to serve their purpose across the country.
You import ambulances for carrying dead bodies and cargo while someone who has foresight brings in quality ambulances and wants to ensure all the lot have arrived before distributing them, you want to force Nana Addo to kotow to your ***barred word*** demands? We will do it when it is fit and Ghanaians appreciate Nana Addo and NPP's efforts in transforming Ghana.
