Millions of people are serving the nation in diverse ways and in extremely poor conditions.. the fact that they are not in public domain doesnt make their services irrelevant.. what about the ambulance driver who risks his life to save others by speeding through the traffic.. stop this populist and cheap propaganda.. Afranie could hsve afforded plane if he so wished.. l know his children abroad and even some players he trained and coached who could have even hired a full jet to transport him. Go to other countries like america and europe and ask if their publics figures go and cry to government to take care of them.. Get your life in order Polo and stop looking to government for help.. You are a populist

If the man's death is not as a result of not reaching the hospital quick enough why convey him by air?
The ambulance is with paramedics and they monitor continue to give care in transit so stop this talk as if you leave in the West. Even in the USA ambulance are used too.

Thank U Polo. Ghana paid U guys next to nothing for u patriotic deeds.
He never used cane on us as a class three pupil teacher, he was approachable and interesting to talk to. I remember running to catch up with him on my way to school one afternoon, you could not do that in those days.
I know him to be a very friendly humble, friendly person. He would motivate U to do what is right without shouting or using cane to beat u. He would lower himself to your level making u feel comfortable
Polo is right, this man deserved better.

It was not save because of the long distance. Sending him to hospital by air would have improved his chances to survive.
The cretinism is to prevent it from happening again in future, no bad intention.

When someone suffers stroke, the last thing anybody will want to do will be to put him on a plane!!! It affects the blood pressure. Ask any medical doctor.

Polo is a cheap populist. I know someone who died in a crash when he was being transported in a helicopter for medical care. We talk and complain about everything. Please!!!

It is by virtue of the power you have. Politicians fly to the US and others for even malaria cases. How mush more such a sickness?.

Its an uneducated argument. A well developed and educated mind wouldnt speak like this. Planes crash as well Polo. The ambulance was involved in an accident. How many people in Ghana even get the services of ambulances. The man is old and also suffered a stroke. Its probably Gods way of relieving him of his pains. Please make sensible and constructive statements sir

ALSO PLANES ARE FORCED TO MAKE A LANDING WHEN THERE IS A HUMAN EMERGENCY ABOARD.
ABOVE ALL THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THE AMBULANCE. RUNNING TO MAKE FANCY STATEMENTS TO BE HEARD IS FOOLISH. WELL, "OLD FOLKS ARE ALWAYS WORRIED WHEN BROKEN BONES ARE MENTIONED." POLO MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT HIS OWN FUTURE. IT HAPPENS!

Afranie might has died long before conveying the body to Kumasi for probably good preservation until this unfortunate incident happened. Let us ask more questions than just to apportion blame to our system of doing things.

For all you know neither the GFA nor the government was aware that the celebrated Coach was been transfer to Okomfo Anokye for them to suggest a flight or not. Then again is Korle Bu not the final resort as far as medical attention is concern in Ghana. Why was he been transferred to Kumasi. This is purely the decision of the family therefore the GFA and Government should not be blame for the road accident. An accident is an accident and can happen anywhere. It's just unfortunate that Coach.E. K. Afranie met his untimely death this way. May the soul of this great coach rest in perfect peace.

Great player but not so great thought. He was transported in an ambulance, nothing wrong with it. Ambulances are well equipped to handle emergencies. It is only unfortunate that it was involved in that tragic accident. It could have happened if he was flown. There is no guarantee that the plane or helicopter would have made it safely.

Polo, John Mahama who was 2nd in command supervised his Boss Mills to be put at the back of pick up, so if a dying President Mills was rushed by pick up, why should a Coach be put in Plane.

Countless number of people serve the nation in capacities other being a nation team coach as Afranie was. They are no less deserving than the Black Star coach, but the nation cannot afford to single out some people for special treatment. Therefore it is self-serving for Polo to suggest that Afranie somehow deserved better than being transported in an ambulance instead of being flown in a plane to Kumasi for treatment. Hopefully, Polo, a usually thoughtful person, will see the folly in his statement and walk it back.

Should the ambulance not had accident, would you have said this. And you aren't thinking about what happened to the driver but Afranie. Don't be bias in your analysis.

I don't see the sense in this, what is wrong with that transporting him by road? If even he was been flown by air, there could have been an accident and what will be the reaction

Now, in Ghana, only politicians are rich and enjoying or one has to have links with politicians to make it higher.

God save Ghana.

The competent people in Ghana are the most sufferers economically and the shallow- minded are leading.
