A Plus questions credibility of Akufo-Addo’s 'no official vehicle acquisition' directive

Member of Parliament elect for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, known popularly as A Plus, has questioned the commitment of the President to see to it that all official vehicles being used by his appointees are handed over to the state.

In a statement issued on December 11, 2024, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo reminded his appointees that none of them had the right to acquire their official vehicles.

The appointees have until January 3, 2024, to hand over their vehicles to the chief director of the ministries and agencies they represent.

But speaking to OB on Accra-based Asempa FM, Kwame Asare Obeng, known as A Plus, indicated that he does not trust the president enough to believe he is committed to ensuring his appointees don’t acquire their official vehicles.

To him, after the fight against Galamsey under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo failed when he even put his presidency on the line, he has since lost trust in him.

“I don’t trust Akufo-Addo, and I am not sure he will see to it that his people have adhered to the directive. A president who was lying about the fight against illegal mining can never be trusted. For me, I think the directive is only for the people who are not very close to the president to hand over their vehicles so that they choose the best among them to share among themselves,” he said.

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is in the dying minutes of his administration of Ghana after eight years of leading the West African country.

He is expected to leave office on January 7, 2024, and a transition committee has already been set up to ensure that everything is smooth sailing between the current government and the government in waiting.
