The former Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Dr. Afari Gyan bought a Nissan Mini Van 2007 model for a meagre Ghc2, 676, the 2015 Auditor General’s report has revealed.
The former Chair bought the vehicle after an auction on several vehicles were carried out at the election management body.
The report also revealed that a Nissan Hardbody was also auctioned for only Ghc140. These revelations were made known when the members of the Electoral Commission, led by its Chairperson Charlotte Osei appeared before Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee.
The vehicles according to Mrs. Osei were valued by the State Transport Corporation (STC) in 2013.
The EC was also indicted in the report for its failure to account properly for cars disposed of and payment of GhC 18,785.10 without adequate supporting documentation.

The EC is a ro.t.ten institution......
This auditor general need to be serious! We are talking about people who stole huge sums of money and you are talking about auctioned cars. That is what happens when you appoint uneducated people to hold such high positions.
Four months ago I asked an agent at Tema Harbour to give me an idea how much duty I will pay on a 2007 Nissan Murano which I wanted to ship into Ghana from Dubai and was told that the Duty will be between GHC40,000.00 and GHC55,000.00. One therefore wonders how on earth another Nissan of same year and same engine capacity is valued by STC at GHC2,675.00 and considers that to be a fair price. Stealing is not only done by armed robbers but the most of this terrible act are carried out by so called well educated civil servants.
