Former NDC MP calls for arrest of people keeping state vehicles
A Former National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP for
Ablekuma Central has called on the government to
arrest any member of the party found to have taken
any state property or cars home.


According to Theophilus Tetteh Chaie, possessing
state property unlawfully is “criminal”, and
hence anyone found culpable must be prosecuted.

“Anyone who has taken any vehicle home is
criminal so arrest that person and put the person
before the law but until they establish it, they
should stop it,” he urged the government.

His comment is in reaction to claims that none of
former President John Mahama’s numerous Toyota
Avalons as well as the Land Cruisers can be traced
at the pool at the Flagstaff House, with the
strong suspicion that they have been hidden.

Director of Communications at the Presidency,
Eugene Arhin, has said over 200 vehicles in the
presidential pool were nowhere to be found at the
Flagstaff House.

He said President Nana Akufo-Addo has been forced
to use a 2007 model of a saloon car to discharge
his duties in Accra.

However, speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen
programme on Thursday, Tetteh Chaie expressed
shock at the allegation being peddled.

In his view, there are records on every car at the
Presidency thus it will be very difficult for
anyone to take it out without it being entered
into a log book.

The former Ablekuma Central MP maintained that the
claim of 200 missing cars is part of a vile
propaganda to incite Ghanaians against the
erstwhile John Mahama-led administration.

He described as “undemocratic” the communist
inferior tactics cars are taken from government
appointees by hoodlums of the New Patriotic Party
(NPP).

Mr. Tetteh Chaie said Ghana is not a lawless
state, “we are in a country with rules and
regulations so allow the police to work”.
