- Ablakwa links Akufo-Addo's daughters to Service Ghana Auto Group.
- Company received $10 million despite Auditor-General's findings.
- President's daughters tied to company director Stephen Okoro.
- Ablakwa petitions Special Prosecutor to investigate.
North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has revealed new information linking President Akufo-Addo’s daughters to Service Ghana Auto Group Limited. The company is at the center of a controversial $34.9 million ambulance spare parts deal, which Ablakwa has petitioned the Special Prosecutor to investigate.
Ablakwa shared documents on Facebook suggesting that the company received favorable treatment due to its relationship with the president’s daughters. The company received $10 million in February, approved by the former Finance Minister just before he left office.
The Auditor-General found that Service Ghana Auto Group Limited was illegally engaged and paid for 8 months before the government gave them the contract. The company was also asked to provide maintenance services in January 2020, before it was even incorporated in April 2020.
Ablakwa questioned why the government awarded the company a new deal despite the Auditor-General’s “exceedingly damning findings”. Ablakwa’s investigation revealed that a director of Service Ghana Auto Group Limited, Stephen Okoro, is a close business partner of the president’s daughters.
Okoro is linked to several companies with the president’s daughters, including SFO Initiatives Limited, Goodbox Limited, and Good Grow Limited. Ablakwa believes that the Finance Minister’s approval of the deal was motivated by familial interest and has provided this new information to the Special Prosecutor to strengthen the case.
