Hmmmm!we want more of this towards the path of....Proverbs14-34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people....or Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people.

jere.33-6...Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth.

2 Chronicles 7-14..and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

SENSIBLE GOVERNMENT WITH SENSIBLE IDEAS. THIS SHOULD BEEN DONE LONG TIME AGO. PUT ALL THOSE CARS IN PUBLIC AUCTION AND LET THE PUBLIC ALSO BID ON THEM. THE GOVERNMENT MAY MAKE MORE MONEY THAT WAY. THE HIGHEST BIDDER WINS. THAT IS WHAT IS DONE IN THE USA WITH GOVERNMENT AND SEIZED CARS BY THE POLICE.

What about addressing issue that border on conflict of interests? It is not enough to set a three year limit. The criminal practice should stop immediately. The issue should extend to all government owned property.

This is necessary but not sufficient Mr. President. My questions are;

1. By your own words, purchasing cars less than 3 years old by government officials is ok. If so, at what price?

2. I also saw an earlier statement about purchasing cars during transition, does this mean government officials can purchase cars at any time except during a transition? If so, what purpose does the ban serve?

3. I could have read wrong, but an earlier statement also quoted the president as saying government officials couldn't purchased cars assigned to them. Does that mean officials can purchase cars assigned to other government officials? Does this not encourage "trading" to bypass the ban?

Why can't the government just auction off state vehicles in a transparent manner, determined by willingness and ability to pay? What makes government officials entitled to purchase state cars?

More promises. 3 day retreat to check yourselves on the nothing achieved within the 100 days. Please somebody tell me the 1 thing that has come out of this change. Capitalist government can not better the lives of the masses. With all the high standards of education, am surprised Ghanaians can't figure out this little puzzle. You know why? I will tell you why, here in England, we are developed to reason whereas over there in Ghana, you are educated to know the answers and not necessarily understand the question.

AMA,
Our broke govt should not pay anyone to find stolen vehicles.
Govt should guarantee vehicle loans for all MPs, sector ministers, DCEs, etc. This way, any govt official will be accountable to local dealer for payment of vehicle loan.

If a govt official defaults in loan payment, govt should pay the dealer AND deduct paid amount from govt official's retirement money.

This means, govt official's retirement money has to be bigger than approved vehicle or other govt guaranteed loans. Also, govt official will be circumspect in the type and price of vehicle to purchase. CUT YOUR COAT ACCORDING TO YOUR SIZE.

I think the president just making a statement like this will little effect unless put into law.You see Mr President,we Ghanaians eat,drink and worship corruption.It is in our bone marrow to be corrupt.So an easy fix to this canker is not feasible.There should be a holistic approach to this problem of corruption that has engulfed our minds and souls.Take this order to parliament as a bill and let there be a thorough deliberation and debate on this issue.If we are serious in making the nation a middle income status then let first get rid of this epidemic.

The new NPP administration in government at the moment is beginning to show soma weakness in the fight against against corruption, why do l say this. When NANA ADDO'S administration took over from Mahama government which happenes to the most corrupt government ghana has ever experienced, where was a lot speculation that state cars ???? were missing, these aligations promoted the New administration to form task force to retrieve those stolen cars at the expense of mother Ghana. New most of these missing cars have been retrieved by the task force from people who were affiliated to the corrupt Mahama's administration, but yet not a single person has been arranged before the court of law in Ghana. If it's NANA ADDO'S intention not to prosecute those found with stolen cars, then they are in to do the same damage to the nation, remember justice delayed is justice denied. There is an old African saying that, if a game or a play will be enjoyable it's starts from the beginning, GHANA IS WATCHING,

Over aged. Over rated. Under height. Abysmal performance. The only change so far is the new facelift of lawlessness. Corruption is still ripe. Abolishing of taxes that do not exist is his best achievement so far. Thinks he is smart to pull a fast one with this statement. It is vague, full of loop holes intentionally left there to be exploited. Utility bills sky high. Transport fares shooting up like jets. Ghana is being ruled backward by a clueless leader. After begging for the job, he is found wanting. This is the biggest mistake in Ghana's young democracy.

I seek clarity. Does the ban cover only politicians in government or other government employees who are working with state institutions or organisations?
