Member of Parliament for North Tongu in the Volta Region, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is accusing President Akufo-Addo of throwing dust in the eyes of public with his directive to all Ministries, department and agencies not to purchase new vehicles.
According to him, some ministries have already bought the vehicles and wondered why government is now attempting to close the stable when the horse has already bolted.
Mr Okudzeto Ablakwa, who was speaking on Accra based Joy FM on Monday cited the Fisheries Ministry as one of the government institutions which have flouted the directive.
He further alleged that the office of the First and Second Ladies have procured new vehicles, making nonsense of the directive.
His comments follow statements made by President Akufo, that his government has banned the practice whereby government officials buy cars that are more than two years old. The president made statements during a media interaction at the Peduase Lodge in the Eastern Region on Monday.
Nana Akufo-Addo said: “These are difficult times for the Ghanaian people. The policy that has worked so far which is running into a lot of problems because of the way it has been abused, which is that officials can buy official cars. That policy will no longer work. No official is going to buy his official car. So, we put an end to it.

baby with the sharp teeth , will u be sensible for once ?
Eeeiiiiii! baby with sherp teeth. So how can a statement like this takes retrospective effect? You can only be taken serious when such acts take place after the statement. Wise up please.
No you don't read or you read but you don't understand Nana 100 days unprecedented. The delta force issues let allow the law to work at the end it may be either you and your gangs in the NDC are at work aiding some group in the delta force to make the Nana and the NPP unpopular or the delta force has mistakenly lean something bad from JDM because he used the law to jailbreak the montee three these delta force might have think Nana would do same but unlike JDM Nana has demonstrate how principle a leader should be than God every citizen is dancing to that tune by condemning the unfortunate event of the delta force very soon you and your guys in the NDC would have nothing more to talk about, let me give you a wake-up call that you guys should start lacing your boots to rep the seed you sow in corruption its a countdown
i think i do agree with mr president because it is waste of money ,and also now ourdays we have to make sure that we control our expenditure .unlike those NDC in the regin of mahama administration we used to see the economy is very bad yet they spend our money anyhow, this is nana and he knws how we the nation had suferred in the hands of mahama sohe will not do such a thing to us .NO MORE BUY ANY CAR FOR ANY MP OR WHT EVER.
Wo gyafo nono!! it looks like lately in opposition you have nurtured "a must all means be heard" character. Anything you want to say something walahi!!! Hmmm! At least he has called for a ban, so it stops those that were to follow. iya won yi aye kakra ai epayuo!!!
Beaver Ablakwa you call yourself a legislator representing the people of the Volta Bank Region and you speak half-truths. There is an exception to the law that no new cars will be purchased by the Akuffo Addo government and it is that any Ministries, Agencies, Depts. etc that have a need for new car/cars should apply to the appropriate Authority to state why they need New Cars. Mr Beaver check that out and come back. ARE YOU STILL IN A COMFORTABLE LEAD? Did you see your smoothness level in the Ayariga Lie Case? Dan nniama. Avuu
The fact that there is a directive does not mean if u need u shouldn't buy. What about not allowing Ministers to purchase cars they used? U don't see anything wrong? Go and fix ur teeth.
Ablakwa and the NDC are now immune to ROT, CORRUPTION and RECKLESS SPENDING to an extent that they cannot find anything good in such brilliant directives. For them, it should be business as usual. Nation wreckers!
so you support the idea of government buying cars every 4yrs?dis ***barred word*** must stop somewhere.one day like Dr kwame Nkrumah said the people u represent in parliament will descend on u n demand answers from you.
