National Youth Coordinator of the Progressive People's Party (PPP), Divine Nkrumah has described the acquisition of Thirty Four [34] luxury cars for the presidency as “useless”.
He asked if the President before the arrival of the cars walked to state functions or complained he needed the cars as purported by some NDC members.
“This is just a waste of money”, he said.
According to Citi FM, government over the weekend took delivery of Thirty Four [34] cars for the presidency, ten of which have bullet resistant exterior.
Citi FM indicated that the luxury cars arrived on a Global African Airlines cargo plane.
The presidential fleet contract was awarded by the John Mahama administration barely a week before they left office.
The original number of cars ordered was Forty Three [43]. The New Patriotic Party administration, which had attempted to cancel the entire contract but failed due to certain clauses in the contract, managed to reduce the number to 34.
By so doing, it saved the country Three Million Dollars, from the initial cost of Nine Million dollars for the 43 cars. They also avoided incurring a judgement debt, by deciding not to cancel the contract.
Speaking to the issue on NEAT FM morning how ‘Ghana Montie’, Divine Nkrumah after commending the Nana Addo-led government for saving three million dollars from the initial amount, lambasted the Mahama administration for ‘wasting’ such huge amount.
“What is the motive behind the purchase? 34 cars for the presidency, are we going to use them to transport cattle? Common ambulance we don’t have some here in our various hospitals yet buying luxury cars for the presidency”, he said.

NDC will always create problems for Ghanaians and NPP will be elected to solve the problem. The the NDC will be constatly confusing the populace whiles the problem is being resolved. Reminds me of Wayome and all the people who defeneded him Reminds me of Gontanamo 2 the list doesnt end .....
one day we will think like humans. such acts only put us in a certain category. the human institution is always funny
politicians know that we all the citizenries are ***barred word***... OSAFO MARFO mentioned to us that No last minutes contract would be accepted. That they have cancelled all.... three days to go you made mahama to order these vehicles and politicians are telling us what. You guys must misuse the state monies.
The negotiations to acquire the fleet of Luxury cars was long before the Cape Coast Stadium Husein Bolt victory arrow sign campaign declaration. In fact, MAHAMA and his Gov't never anticipated DEFEAT. They planned another JOLLY 4 YEARS WANTON DECIPATION OF TAX PAYERS MONEY IN OFFICE. THE NDC WILL NEVER PROCURE LUXURY CARS FOR AN IN COMING NEW GOV'T LIKE THE NPP. THE WINDFALL FROM THAT TRANSACTION THE NDC WILL, HOWEVER NOT LIKE TO LOSE, SO THEY QUICKLY FINALIZED THE DEAL FEW DAYS TO THE HANDING OVER OR CHANGE OF GOV'T. There is nothing like FINANCIAL PRUDENCE in the NDC Governance system. Check the Ambulance Procurement Story, Check the BUS Branding, Check the cost of building a Vice Prez. Apartment etc. Now Visualize the Face OF MAHAMA VIS-A-VIS the purchace of the LUXURY VEHICLES. You will now come to UNDERSTAND WHY HE IS BENT ON and SUREPTITUOSLY WORKING HARD UNDERGROUND TO LEAD THE CURRUPT NDC AGAIN AGAINST ALL WISE COUNSELLING WITHIN THE PARTY. ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE SKELETON IN THEIR CARBOARDS AND POTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR OUR PRISONS ARE SUPPORTING HIS CLANDESTINE MOVES JUST IN CASE, FOR POLITICAL SHIELDING. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME, WHERE IS AFRIYIE ANKRAH AND LOUD MOUTH KOJO TWUM BOAFO?
what influenced mahama to signed that contract. he thought Ghana was for him. God will punished him. he will die like the way we killed his formal boss ( MILLS).
From the Kwasi Botchwey’s report and the subsequent meetings from NEC, all NDC Communicators must work hard as directed. I am compelled to put this across here because only few of us are working on Social Media. Note we are to: (1) Ensure Owusu Bempah’s mouth is shut as his constant media attack on NDC & Mahama contributed greatly to our defeat. When we work hard to bring scandals against him NDC communicators must hold it up. (2) We must attack Bawumia like he did against John Mahama. Whenever he speaks, good or bad he must be attacked. Let’s make governance difficult for him. (3) We must paint NPP as very corrupt. Hons Ablakwah, Ayariga, Ahi, etc. are spearheading that at Parliament. So we must back them up on social media. Contact the Communication Team if you require further information. Thank you!
Was Mahama serious?? Leaving office and ordering these number of cars. God really saved Ghana by booting out this man as he will have sold off Ghana and its content including us human beings all. If this is true, mahama is a big disgrace to the Ghanaian in general and particularly the northerners.
I am a bit confused here. 9million for 43 and now we have 34 and the say it has saved the nation 3million?
Mahama ...why
Ghanaians need justification for the need of these cars. What triggered the need of such fleet? Was there any extraordinary security risk? who initiated this idea? the secret service? the national security?
