What The Hell! . . . We're Still Talking About 'Missing' State Vehicles? - Allot
Allotey Jacobs has advised government and members
of the opposition National Democratic Congress
(NDC) to put paid to the missing State vehicles
saga, claiming that it is disgracing the country
before the international community.

According to him, the issue has exposed Ghanaians
to international ridicule and so wondered why
Ghana would still be dealing with the matter in
this democratic dispensation.

Contributing to 'Kokrokoo' on Peace FM, Allotey
Jacobs insisted that the nation should rather be
looking at ways to protect President Nana
Akufo-Addo and help him to effectively steer the
affairs of the State.

The Director of Communications at the Presidency,
Eugene Arhin complained that President Akufo-Addo
had been compelled to use his private vehicle for
trips outside Accra and also to ride in a 2007
model of BMW to functions.

But a statement by the former Deputy Chief of
Staff, Johnny Osei Kofi indicated that the
President was left with 4 bulletproof cars and so
if he is sticking to a BMW and his private
vehicles, it's a matter of choice.

“It must be placed on record that the use of the
BMWs and his personal vehicle if it is true, is
not due to the non-availability of presidential
vehicles. It is clearly a choice that he made on
his own accord,” the statement said.

To Allotey Jacobs, the banter between the
government and the opposition NDC is needless;
stressing that Nana Addo has been "elected the
President of the Republic of Ghana. Anything and
everything that we can do to protect him and to
make him comfortable as a leader to ensure he
steers the affairs of this country, we need to do
for him. We don’t need to bring these things
into the newspapers . . . Somebody will say
bulls**t,” he said.

“It’s disgracing us as a nation that we will
sit there for CNN, Aljazeera are talking about
vehicles. Government of Ghana talking about
vehicles! It’s not good. It doesn’t speak well
of us as a country where we’re an icon of
African democracy. 25 years in our fourth
Republican democratic dispensation, we’re
talking about missing cars, stolen cars . . . What
the hell!" he added.
