JOHN MAHAMA AND THE NDC ARE IN LEAGUE WITH THE CAR DEALERS IN GHANA, TO LOOT STATE FUNDS TO BUY CARS AND THEN SHARE THE PROFITS BEHIND THE SCENE. THE NDC HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN COHOOTS WITH THE CAR DEALERS, TO DUPE THE STATE. REMEMBER AFRICAN AUTOMOBILE AND THE JUDGEMENT DEBTS SAGA?????? VOTE THESE NDC THIEVES AND LIARS OUT IN 2016, TO SAVE GHANA FROM DOOM, GLOOM AND DESTRUCTION.

Which car dealers specifically are you referring to exactly? Or is it the usual generalization? What exactly do you know about African Automobile and the judgement debt saga apart from the rubbish you hear in the media? Let us all hear about the facts you have gathered through your intensive research of this issue.
Perhaps you can educate us more with hard facts about African Automobile judgment debt issue and yoir ao called "cohoots" with ALL the car dealers. Weren't the car dealers around when other parties were in power? Has car sales trends changed from govt. to govt? Factually, sales of vehicles since the NDC took office have experienced dramatic decrease in total numbers. Or are you also ignorant of that fact? Quit sounding like an ignorant fool and back your uneducated claims with hard facts rather than the usual pompous ignorant rubbish. I believe the issue here is about GTA and misappropriation of funds through unnecessary purchase of vehciles. What about you enlighten us more about this issue rather than throw sand in our faces and confuse us with your rubbish?

It is important to use revenue to improve access roads to the tourist attractions and provide decent on-site places of conveniences like you see abroad.

Oh! Nice one. Use 11m of levies meant to improve tourism on vehicles to go round, collect money and blow it. What happens to the annual budget for the Ghana Tourism Authority ? If all you can do is to spend the levies on GTA then, why collect it in the first place? Thus Ghana for you.

Our obsession with cars, especially high end SUVs and pickups is unbelievable.What sort of people are we? A poor country like ours should not be spending 100,000 dollars on a vehicle for government business. These vehicles are meant for private business men not public servants. We are behaving like kids with a hatch key and a bank account. This is unacceptable. Don't we have any shame to be riding in these vehicles conducting government business?

I support you fully. While much wealthier nations spend a fraction of this cost on an official vehicle, we as a poor nation are u reasonably extravagant with or u choice of vehicles. A total waste of the nation's resources.

I think the education to this levy issue is not enough,the hoteliers should be made aware that they are not contibuting the 1percent but we those who patronized the hotel. They are collectors of the levy.
