A former presidential staffer James Agyenim Boateng is alleging that current government has already ordered 2017 brand of vehicles for use by its functionaries and looking for ways to justify its outrageous expenditure.
Mr Agyenim Baoteng believes the current government is only creating the impression that vehicles have been stolen by past government officials to court the sympathy of the populace and justify their decision to procure new vehicles.
He asked for the whereabouts of two bulletproof vehicles that were at the presidency only meant for the use of the president to the extent he now has to use his private vehicles for official duties.
“Ask them where those two bulletproof vehicles are. I just don’t want to talk about this anymore. The NPP want to court the sympathy of Ghanaians and justify the latest vehicles they have already ordered into the country. There was an inventory which clearly spelt out who was using what; so if they have challenges they know those using the vehicles”, he disclosed on Kumasi-based Abusua Fm.
The former Deputy Information minister accused the Acting Director of Communications at the presidency Eugene Arhin, of peddling falsehood advising him to live beyond reproach.
The presidency earlier this week said there are 208 cars unaccounted for at the Flagstaff House’s vehicle pool following the change in government on January 7, 2017.
The Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, indicated that this was detected after the assessment of five car models in the car pool inventory of the Flagstaff House.
“Just these five models account for 208 vehicles which we strangely cannot find,” Mr. Arhin said speaking to the media.
Breaking down the current situation with the cars, Mr. Arhin said: “In total, if you look at the documents provided to me by the transport officer, we were supposed to have a total of 196 Toyota land cruiser vehicles, we are supposed to have some Toyota Land Cruiser Prados; a total of about 73 and then Mercedes Benz, BMWs and other vehicles.”
“…But what we came to meet was something that surprised all of us. For example, you take a look at the Toyota Landcruiser vehicles, we were supposed to have 196 Toyota Land Cruiser vehicles at the presidency. We only came to meet 74. That means you have a total of 122 which we still cannot find. For the Toyota land cruiser Prados, the total is 73. But we only came to meet 20; so you have a 43 difference.”
“You look at something like the Mercedes-Benz; there were 24 in total; but we came to meet 11. Toyota Avalons; there were 28, but we came to meet two and for the BMWs, there were six and we came to meet only two.”

where are the rest not accounted for. Please NDC be truthful to your conscience and for the Love of Ghana, get all this cars that was distributed among yourselves back to Ghana. You have damage the country enough. The Assets of Ghana is for all Ghanaians You all know which people have the cars, tell them to hand it over in the name of God.
In my native Akuapim language 'OTOROFO'!!!
Stop the falsehood. You people will stop at nothing to spread your foul intentions!! You know in your heart that is not true. Sam George says you were all offered the cars to by for a mere pittance. Nunnoo Mensah has also confirmed it. You bought the cars for $2000 each and that explains why so many cannot be accounted for. Just admit it and stop the Kwaku Ananse stories.
In fact if all Ghanaians will start to think like I do. we should not allow NDC to come to power again. They are so greedy andheartless
Thank you! You said EVERYTHING I wanted to say! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
xxxl,please check well before u post wai. Azuri comfirmed that indeed he had gone to see the gifted Ford Expedition. But the NDC,had clandestinely changed n replaced it with an older Ford Expedition n presented it to the transition team. Thats criminal.
If the NDC can add new cars to the Presidential fleet, what prevents the NPP from adding new ones when YOU and your cronies have decided to buy cars over 2 years old for your personal use. Are you super Ghanaians? If you do not want the NPP to buy new cars then bring back all those you have TAKEN AWAY under the guise of it being a PRACTICE. RETURN THE STATE PROPERTY PLEASE.
EVEN IF IT IS ME I WILL DO IT BECAUSE IDONT NO WHAT YOU PEOPLE HAS DONE WITH THE CARS
James, if out of the 641 cars at the flagstaff house, your NDC members who worked there bought 270 out of the numbers, where would you want the new staff coming to use. I don't support the practice of members of political parties buying cars at very cheap prices and any time there is a change in government then the new government would have to buy new cars. With all the money this political parties make whiles in government, cant they buy their own cars on the open market? and this same people would tell us they are in to service us?
How do you expect the Government to work when you have stolen all the Cars?
