The Minority in Parliament has condemned the use of threats and intimidation by Service Ghana Auto Group Limited against Members of Parliament in an attempt to prevent scrutiny of the ambulance spare parts deal.

The MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, accused former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and former Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman-Manu of conspiring with Service Ghana Auto Group Limited to swindle the state in a $34 million ambulance spare parts scandal.

Addressing journalists in Accra, the Chairman of the Government Assurances Committee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, condemned threats against Members of Parliament and the general public over the issue.

“We want to strongly condemn the use of threats and intimidation by Service Ghana Auto Group Limited. We take the view that those threats and attempts at intimidating Members of Parliament, the media and the general public, are obviously aimed at preventing scrutiny

“We want to serve very clear notice that the use of public funds for any national project will require greater scrutiny and accountability under the Ghanaian constitution. So any attempt by anybody, no matter who they think they are, to issue threats to intimidate any Ghanaian will not be tolerated.”

The caucus further urged President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to, as a matter of urgency, abrogate what it termed a disgusting deal.
