Ablakwa’s recent publication, dated July 24, 2024, follows his previous claim that former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta authorized a $34.9 million payment for ambulance servicing under the One District One Ambulance initiative.
Ablakwa now alleges that Stephen Okoro, a key director of Service Ghana Auto Group Limited, has close business ties with the President’s daughters, Gyankroma and Edwina Akufo-Addo.

According to Ablakwa, Okoro and the President’s daughters have collaborated on several ventures, including SFO Initiatives Limited, Goodbox Limited, and Good Grow Limited
. He claims Okoro is a longstanding business partner and was involved in these companies with the Akufo-Addo siblings.
Ablakwa argues that the contract award to Service Ghana Auto Group Limited may have been influenced by nepotism, citing concerns over the company’s activities and a report by the Auditor-General.
The MP’s allegations raise questions about the transparency of the ambulance contract and the role of personal connections in government contracts.
