    We don't need a rocket scientist to tell us how insensitive Akuffo Addo is. He's, greedy and selfish. A driver in his convoy died and all he could say was, that the driver was, over speeding when the family called on him. Aku ...

    John Mahama and his cronies chopped millions of Cedis thru SADAA meant to alleviate poverty within Northerners in his 1st term. Manasseh Azure proved how insensitive he was.

    Akufo Addo is all about himself. No empathy. He would have quickly empathized with France or the UK, Not Ghana. Go away. Good riddance.

  • Isaac 11 months ago

    @ghanaweb Akuffo Addo wasn't sympathetic not empathetic. I think empathetic was not the right word.

    The President had nothing doing with the situation. The EMS failed.

    There may be deficiencies in our emergency response system I agree. But to say Akufo-Addo did not stop his speech or show empathy is a blatant lie.

    National security and state protocol should ensure that adequate medical cover is provided to cover all state functions. The simplest way out is to task either the military or the Police to support the ambulance services.
