The Herald has reported that President Nana Akufo-Addo's administration awarded a $34.9 million ambulance spare parts contract to Service Ghana Auto Group Limited, which has connections to the President’s family.
Stephen Okoro, linked to the President’s daughter Gyakroma Akufo-Addo, and Alvin Mensa are associated with the company.
Concerns are raised over potential nepotism and the company's track record.
The deal, authorized by former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, faces scrutiny over alleged improprieties and procurement breaches.
The Special Prosecutor has acknowledged a petition from MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and will investigate if within jurisdiction.
