More revelations on bootlegged cars

More serious discoveries are emerging in the saga of the scandal cars, according to 'The Chronicle'. It said its monitoring of the CEPS car pond and discreet inquiries reveal that several leading names in the past Government of the NDC knowingly took away top of the range vehicles that were pending investigations with the connivance of the controversial ex-Commissioner of CEPS, Nii Okine Adjei.

"They paid silly amounts of money for these vehicles some of which were valued in excess of Three Hundred Million and had a willing agent of Nii Okine, the much promoted Commissioner Mr Nunoo, to process them for their enjoyment."

Top on the list is said to be Dr Tony Aidoo, known for his violent and abusive tendencies. He played to the gallery last fortnight when he deliberately kept quiet about a new BMW 5 series worth three hundred million he picked up from CEPS pond, paid under twenty million for it but engaged in grandstanding last month by walking noisily over to the Castle and returning the keys to another vehicle he was using.

As dramatic as Dr Aidoo's showmanship was, the more dramatic development was the encounters of Hon Sallas Mensah, (NDC, Oda) ranking member of Parliament and former Chairman of the House's Finance Committee.

The Hon Mensah was told over a week ago by the paper that the gleaming new Audi A.4 he was driving was a stolen car, and advised him to return it but he retorted that it was given to him by the Customs boss, having paid the duty on it.

Chronicle says probably more controversially, the CEPS boss himself is alleged to have walked off with a Land cruiser which he is reported to have re-sprayed.

Top CEPS Chiefs interviewed said they were horrified at the abuse of power by the Castle big wigs, but were powerless.
