The Deputy National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Osman Ayariga, has announced plans for a protest at the Presidency over the controversial ambulance deal.
Mr. Ayariga criticised the deal, describing it as a misuse of the country’s limited resources and an indication of corruption.
He stressed that the NDC will not tolerate what he views as mismanagement and plans to lead a demonstration of unemployed Ghanaians to the Jubilee House and the office of President Akufo-Addo’s daughter.

The protest aims to draw attention to the issue and demand transparency.
Mr. Ayariga concluded by urging the government to address the concerns raised by the NDC and to cease practices that he believes are harmful to the country’s future.

“Today who else is benefiting from bloated and inflated contracts other than the President’s daughter and her associates are enjoying from the ambulance contract. There is a new report from the Auditor-General that there has been another purchase of 307 ambulances which was bloated from $24 million to $54 million, a whopping $30 million bloated contract, yet we have 1.9 million unemployed youth who are hovering on the streets of Accra and soon, we will start occupying everywhere including the Jubilee House, President Akufo-Addo’s office,” he said.
