Step by step we are moving on!Where are K4's gallons?
It is funny that this empty directive is always issued to all ministers and state officials in cycles with cuteness. The million mark question is . Who is going to enforced this empty directives from the President office….
What sort of confusion is this directive? I have never heard of this? Even in the UK, we are allowed to use state cars for both official work and as private. For example, working for a public (state) organisation, you can use ...

This writer is certainly a Ghanaian but wants to show he is a British. Comparing Ghana and Britain on an issue like ministers and other officials of state can be very problematic. The best way out is to give state officials l ...

Can you please go & ask your prostitute mother & pimp father about who can rule Ghana honestly, compare to NDC & NPP?
Now that fantis have seen that Ewes and Mpepefo killed Mills, they will come back to their root.

We need another bout of blood-flowing revolution in Ghana. The leadership across the political spectrum is so rotten, only a great and sudden change will save Ghana!
Party affiliations have blinded some Ghanaians to the point that they just refuse to appreciate a good policy even if from the other party. The country would never develop this way. During the last US elections a heavy weight ...

No Japanese or German cars! Marutis and Tata Indicas will be fine for these parasites. If they want any others, they should spend their own monies! Idiots.

YOU ARE RIGHT MR PRESIDENT.LET THEM PARK VEHICLES AFTER WORK.
WELL SAID. THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR ONE MONTH.THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS LAW WILL COME FROM MAHAMA HIMSELF.
Do you park your state car after work Mr. President? Leadership by example if you park they ll park, if you steal Ghana money they will also steal. Nana Akomfemhene save our ears and tackle more important things Ghana needs.
I am sure it will come as a shock, but this is long over and I hope it will be extended to other perks which these people dont actually deserve. After all they are there to serve us, not to enjoy largesse.
Why should the president initiate loans for cars for government workers? We need to really think twice.

You're humble, smart, nice looking, and doing marvelously well. Bravo.

Good idea. More coming soon. I can see JJ in Mahama coming out now. Good one JM.
