208 cars missing at Flagstaff House
Director of Communications at the Presidency,
Eugene Arhin, has revealed there are 208 cars
missing from the Flagstaff House pool of
vehicles.

The revelations come shortly after the Nana
Akufo-Addo-led government set up a task-force to
retrieve state assets unlawfully being held by
individuals.

The taskforce is composed of the Ghana Police
Service, the Ghana Revenue Authority (Customs
Division) the Bureau of National Investigations
(BNI), the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority
(DVLA), and persons from the office of the
President.

Eugene Arhin would not say if officials in the
previous National Democratic Congress (NDC)-led
government may have something to do with the
unaccounted state vehicles at the Flagstaff House,
but describes the situation as "strange".

According to him, the missing cars were detected
after the current government took stock of the
cars at the seat of government using documents
made available by the transport officer at the
Flagstaff House.

“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 Landcruiser 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 Landcruiser 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,” he told the media, Wednesday.
