Legendary Ghanaian broadcaster, Kwasi Kyei Darkwa, alias KKD, has demanded that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo undertake a deeper reflection on the moral principles he is instilling in his children.

In a JoyNews interview, KKD tabled certain questions that he believes will allow President Akufo-Addo to assess the kind of virtues he is ingraining in his children.

KKD, who believes that the daughters of the president stand to gain from the ambulance spare parts deal, questioned whether President Akufo-Addo has considered the possibility that he could be imparting morally questionable attributes to his daughters.

While KKD has no issue with the president’s daughters creating wealth and succeeding in their respective fields, he has deep reservations about the means through which the wealth is being created.

“They (the president’s daughters) deserve to prosper. However, when the Auditor-General states with clarity that this company is getting paid to do nothing way back in 2021 and all the other companies lost the bid and everything was given to this one company, then I have to ask, what country are we running?

“One question I want to ask the President is: Are you coaching your children in thievery and plunder of state resources, or are you investing in your children with earnings from your own honest labor?

“Are you personally stealing national resources for your children to ensure that the many other children all over Ghana, whose parents toil to produce for Ghana, stay in poverty, squalor, and misery so that they will have no choice but to look up to you and beg you for droppings off your table and look up to their children and beg them for their daily bread? What is all this selfishness, greed, and state plunder? These are questions we ask of the soon-to-be ex-president, Akufo-Addo,” he said.

The ambulance spare parts scandal, which was first discovered by the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, indicates that a company owned by a Nigerian businessman with strong ties to Gyankroma Akufo-Addo and Edwina Dokua Akufo-Addo has been awarded a $34.9 million contract to supply spare parts for the maintenance of ambulances in the country.

However, a report by the Herald newspaper on Monday, July 29, 2024, indicates that the deal awarded to Service Ghana Auto Group Limited, which is partly owned by Stephen Okoro, runs into $89 million.
