The about 86 abandoned Hyundai Gallopers left for many years at the Local Government Institute in Madina in Accra, have finally been sold.
They are said to have been sold at Gh¢20,000 each, Mr Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Adentan Constituency and Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has confirmed.
He said he was offered one, but did not take it and passed it on to someone else.
It was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Odododiodio, Nii Lante Vanderpuye who gave the hint of the sale whilst contributing to radio discussions on Accra based Peace FM, Wednesday [August 14, 2019] morning.
Nii Lante Vanderpuye pointed to Mr Buabeng Asamoah, who was also a studio panellist as someone whose name was on the list of beneficiaries and asked him to confirm.
Responding, Mr Buabeng Asamoah said his name was on the “chit” but he passed it on to someone else.
The vehicles were imported in March 2000 by African Automobile Limited (AAL) for sale to the government for use by District Chief Executives across the country under the Rawlings administration.
When President John Agyekum Kufuor assumed office in January 2001, his government rejected the vehicles on the grounds that they were expensive.

THESE SECOND HAND REPAINTED IMPORTED TO GHANA VEHICLES ARE NOTHING BUT SCRAPS. THIS MODEL IS NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED AND SPARE PARTS FOR THIS MODEL ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE EVEN FROM THE MANUFACTURER
This is very bad for the development of our nation. This vehicles were there when I gave birth to my son. He started schooling for KG, Primary, JHS and have completed SHS and today he is also 19 years. The number of years these vehicles have been abandoned. Infact, this is wickedness in the highest order. Africa has a very long way to go
They were abandoned because they were expensive, does it mean it was not paid for by the then government? So given it to the DCE's to use than buying them new ones is it not adding more cost? So if Ghana was to be your organization would you have managed it the same way? Leaving vehicles from 2000 to 2019, 19solid years, i wonder if i still see some people believing in theses politician to develop this country.the country is living in the stomach of politicians instead of them living in the country. NDC and their siblings NPP,tweaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, being in colonial rule would have been better.
Kufuor is better than the person who entrusts 70% of Ghana's Bauxite deposit to his own brother under dubious circumstances.
Politicians!!! Oh dabi dabi!! Group A imports it, group B claimed it was too expensive. These are kept for 9 years, with power changing hands.....Group B comes back to power and sells it to its people very cheap......a 4x4 being sold at Gh¢ 20,000...Am sure they defense will be "depreciation".. Politicians.... A beg better sell Ghana and share the proceeds to all Ghanaians ooo...
kofour should have paid for the vehicle and jail those who bought it for causing financial loss to the state. public servants would stop this non sense of wastage.
Is better than none
Kufour was such a vengeful id10t who jailed people for the same reasons he should have been jailed. The lover of Gizelle Yajzi hasn't stopped to stun. What a dead-brained evil oldman.
