Costa Rica fire chief denies president's role in ambulance procurement

Costa Rica's fire chief Héctor Chaves states President Laura Fernández did not participate in the procurement of 40 ambulances, asserting that decisions on unit numbers, emergency mechanism, and supplier selection were made by the Cuerpo de Bomberos. This appears to be a response to allegations or scrutiny over the procurement process, though the specific allegations are not detailed. The statement aims to insulate the president from potential political fallout, but the underlying controversy remains unclear.
