Former Minister of Health under John Dramani Mahama’s administration, Alexander Segbefia, has described as needless the flamboyant commissioning of ambulances by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in fulfillment of his 'One-constituency One-ambulance' promise.
"I saw that it was political, and when it comes to the lives of our people you only needed to have say five or ten ambulances available and then you take pictures of them as they arrive at the port, but they should have been deployed from the moment they arrived . . . " he told Mc Jerry Osei Agyemang.
He said in the case of the ambulances it is going to save lives so the government should have commissioned it with the few available and deploy them immediately they come to the country.
The Akufo-Addo-led administration, as part of its promises has commissioned and distributed 307 ambulances to each of the 275 constituencies at the Black Stars Square on Tuesday, January 28, 2020.
The ceremony which was well organized by the government to mark the distribution of the ambulances has been condemned and criticized by the opposition party as well as some Ghanaians who think it was needless and a drain on the public purse.
Alexander Segbefia who was speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ said the move was politically strategized.

What is this man's problem? It was campaign promise ans so a political promise. What's wrong with distributing them in a political style. NDC is bereft of ideas, there is more S.E.N.S.I.B.L.E person in the party anymore. They will continue in this way and before they realized we are in December.
So Mr. Segbefia how come you did not distribute you trotro ambulances when they arrived and they are still packed. I thought you were more sensible than people like Akando and Akamba but you have really disappointed me. Waht is wrong with you people. If you have nothing to say against someone's performance do it is better to keep quiet.
yes so what? manifesto promises is political abi? So go tell your ndc for your political policies which you cannot think of any.
