In the wake of the alleged missing 200 state vehicles, a senior lecturer at University of Ghana, Prof. Ransford Gyampo has admonished the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to concentrate on governance and not propaganda.
“I know NPP is good in government and I urge them to focus on governance. I think what is currently going on about the missing vehicles is propagandist and it should not happen,” he said.
Speaking on Joy FM’s news analysis programme, Newsfile, Prof. Gyampo entreated the Akufo-Addo administration to find a better way of handling the issue because NPP is known to be “competent” in government.
Eugene Arhin, Director of Communications at the Presidency on February 8, 2017 told Ghanaians President Akufo-Addo resorted to the use of his private cars because about 208 vehicles in the presidential car pool were missing under the NDC administration.
But Prof. Gyampo expressed his disappointment in the manner in which the current administration and the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) government were addressing the contentious issue.
According to him, there should have been proper inventory of state assets during the transition period to forestall such controversial matters before the new NPP administration took office.
“It is a monumental shame to us as a nation that we cannot keep records of state assets,” Prof. Gyampo bemoaned.
He is also disappointed about the role of the Administrator-General in charge of state assets during presidential transition periods.
“I’m disappointed about the way the Administrator-General handled the issue of the missing cars,” Prof. Gyampo who is also research fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) noted.
Meanwhile, lawyer Kwame Jantuah, a senior member of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) who was on the same Newsfile programme, cautioned the Akufo-Addo administration not to use the alleged missing cars “as an excuse to buy new cars because Ghanaians are watching.”

YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO YOUR TEENAGE GIRLFRIENDS
What is propaganda about reporting missing or possibly stolen cars? Is it not at the heart of accountability to report to we the people in whom sovereignty resides about the state of our resources? You were caught on tape expressing your desire for NDC to win the elections but failed. You are a disgrace as an academic, you argue like an uneducated person sitting in a drinking bar.
A senior lecturer and a professor at the same time?
GOD PUNISH YOU AND YOUR NDC .DID YOU HER SAM GEORGE ? O--F--U--I.
INSTEAD OF YOU TO ADVISE THOSE WHO STOLE THE CARS ,YOU ARE RATHER ATTACKING THE GOVERNMENT. SOME PROFESSORS LIKE YOUR TYPE IN GHANA HAVE DISSAPOINTED THE NATION.

I hope the professor has heard the confession of Sam George. He is expected to be above board and refrain from tainting himself with political colours. He should be bold to tell us he is a member of NDC.
With all 'due' respect Prof., What is governance? As a Ghanaian, i fill quite fulfilled in this process of accountability. I have started feeling the 'practical' and not the long definition of governance in books. This is what i wanted my vote to do: Not to chase people anyhow anywhere, no, but to make sure people dont steal in this easiest job of politics. Your governance definition is different and i agree but i see it this way too, Man of Honour.
what do you mean, they are governing that is why they saw the missing cars you guys always steal state properties and go free ***barred word*** and give us a break.
Hmmmm! No matter how unpopular NPP becomes ndc will never,I repeat never come back to power. The evil of NPP is the good of ndc. This professor behave as somebody neutral but has ndc T-shirt under his shirt and anybody who follows ndc is either a thi*f or a liar,no wonder Gyampo always dance around the truth but nobody can hide the truth. Ndc has corrupted most Ghanaians to the extent even so called professors have sold their integrity for peanuts. That is always by the side of the ndc so I will be pleased if NPP communicators will abstain from any discussion with Gyampo and an ndc because you will have 2 ndc and one NPP as it happened today during the NEWS FILE at Joyfm. Evans Mensah had 3 ndc at one side and only one for the NPP,he had George Loh, Kwame January and Dr Gyampo for the ndc and David Asante for the NPP which was very unfair. Don't tell me Kwame Jantua is cpp,he is cpp in name and body but ndc in spirit as for Gyanpo everyone knows he is ndc but deceiving himself he is neutral only a fo*l will believe that. Ghana will work again to shame the nation wreckers those anti- Ghana must have some cake and cup of tea for their hate for Ghana will not work, Ghana will not die Ghana will live to prosper and progress. IN GOD WE TRUST.NDC BYE,BYE
