  PREZ KUFOUR PICTURE NOT ON SOME OF THE BUSES AN INDICATION THAT THE WHOLE BRANDING WAS TO ADVERTISE MAHAMA AND HIS SLOGAN FOR 2016 ELECTIONS. INDEED I SAW ONE OF THE BUSES TODAY WITH MAHAMA'S PICTURE ALREADY PEELING OFF! THIS IS A DIGRACEFUL ACT AND IF MAHAMA HAD HIGH MORAL SENSE HE WOULD NOT HAVE APPROVED SUCH A DISGRACEFUL DISSIPATION OF PUBLIC FUNDS ON BUILDING HIS POLITICAL IMAGE. IT ONLY SHOWS SOME OF US
