The former deputy Minister of Communications, Felix Kwakye-Ofosu has lashed out at the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin for only being interested in putting out figures in the alleged missing cars saga.
According to him, Mr Arhin was not entirely truthful in his communications on the alleged 200 missing cars at the presidency. But was only dabbling in dirty propaganda on Akufo-Addo’s purported use of a 10-year old BMW as an official car.
Speaking on Citi FM’s Eye Witness News, Kwakye Ofosu who was clearly not happy about the conduct of Mr Arhin on the missing cars saga indicated that, the NDC government left the state a total of 641 vehicles at the presidential pool which was properly handed over by the Transition Team, therefore the claim by the missing 200 vehicles are unfounded.
“The handing over notes of the transition team captured the chassis numbers of these vehicles which the NPP side signed, meaning to have taken possession of the vehicles. Mr Eugen Arhin if you were diligent enough and not interested in putting out falsehood, would’ve done a more thorough job and found that, as far as the government of President Mahama is concerned all state vehicles have been accounted for,” he lamented.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu emphasised that the NPP in their usual allegations have not been able to point out specific vehicles which are missing from the presidential pool but only dabbling in ‘dirty’ propaganda against NDC government.
“If Communications Director Eugen Arhin says that President Akufo-Addo is unable to find vehicles to use and so he has resorted to the use of a 10-year old BMW as an official car then it was borne out of his own choice he made.
“We want to put it on record that among the vehicles that were handed over to them including two bullet proof saloon cars and two Land Cruiser vehicles which are much newer than his 10 year old BMW and are all specifically dedicated to the use of the president and not because there was scarcity of vehicles,” he added.
On his side, the NDC’s Deputy General Secretary, Koku Anyidoho is on record to have said the incumbent NPP government concocted the 200 missing cars story at the presidency for political purposes. The deputy General Secretary explained that, the Nana Akufo-Addo-led administration is making preparations to purchase luxurious cars for Ghana’s upcoming 60th anniversary which they will subsequently use at the presidency.
“They [NPP] want to go and purchase fleet of luxurious vehicles and they want to justify it, so they will say vehicles have been stolen so they can go and purchase these new set of wheels,” he said in an interview on NEAT FM.
Koku Anyidoho who is furious with the allegation of the 200 missing cars, said that “They [NPP] should go and retrieve if they know where those cars are and stop harassing people. You just watch this space and see the luxurious cars they will import into this country to celebrate the Ghana @60. We are all here.”
Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin in a statement yesterday said that President Akufo-Addo has had only one state car at his disposal; a 10-year-old BMW, since he assumed office on January 7th.
Eugene Arhin also revealed that over 200 state cars at the presidency are nowhere to be found which has forced the president to use his private means of transport on trips outside the Greater Accra Region.

OHH NPP WILL NEVER STOP TELLING LIES FOR POLITICAL GAINS. HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO COME OUT TO DENY THE FACT THAT THE NDC GOVERNMENT HANDED OVER 641 VEHICLES TO THEM? WHY ARE THEY SILENT ABOUT THAT? THESE INCLUDE TWO 4*4 CROSS COUNTRY VEHICLES AND TWO LUXURIOUS SALOON CARS ALL BULLET PROOF, PURPOSELY FOR THE USE OF TRANSPORTING THE PRESIDENT. THIS IS JUST A GRAND SCHEME TO LIE TO USE AGAIN AND DEMONIZE THE NDC GOVERNMENT AND MAKE AN EXCUSE TO PURCHASE A NEW FLEET OF CARS AND AUCTION THE 641 CARS TO THEMSELVES FOR CHICKEN CHANGE.. WE KNOW THEM, THE LIED THEIR WAY TO POWER AND WONT STOP TELLING LIES
Ofosu Kwakye if you say "entirely truthful" what do you mean. Some element of truth is in what Mr Arhin is saying. Therefore come out and tell us how many of the missing cars is/are with you Ofosu Kwakye. NDC are looters. And they don't fell sad for their deeds. Too bad for Ghana.
Funny fulminations! You refuse to mention the 208 or more vehicles in the 641 list you chose to submit, having whisked the over 208 Ghana State vehicles to God only knows where for your individual ***barred word*** homes and families. Now you imagined the ruse would lie concealed. It has aborted. The 208 or more vehicles are stolen booty for whoever the ***barred word*** think they are. The unfortunate picture is that this falls clearly into the horror NDC policy of undermining other political parties that do not share in the NDC brand of social democracy. No national political policy that is designed to take away and not to add to building doing; no national political philosophy that comes not designed to building the nation state to a firm, stern, powerful contemporary nation state is not welcome in this land. It shall be liquidated. Nobody shall ever be tolerated in their hidden agenda to mess up our country's growth to healthy growth and vibrant success. The individual of this nation lives to give worth to Ghana's nationhood growth, it must be told.
He has some of those cars! Check out people like O-mamamamane Bobobo-amah as well. And Adu-Asare. Check his wife's car. Investigate all those ndc goons that were loosely employed at State Ptotovol. Most of the cars were sold to them! Go through their names one by one.
