NDC Volta caucus salutes former minister

The Ashanti Regional Volta Caucus of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has saluted former Transport Minister, Ms. Dzifa Attivor, for the bold decision to resign her position in the wake of the public outcry over the rebranding of the Metro Mass Transit buses.

A statement signed by Mr. Sylvanus Soga, its Secretary, said she deserved commendation for the principled position taken.

It noted that by that act, she has demonstrated high sense responsibility and integrity, something, the group said needed to be emulated by all politicians.

The Caucus pledged to continue to give her its unflinching backing in all her future political endeavours.

The statement reminded government appointees to be transparent and accountable in the performance of their duties.

The rebranding of the buses at a cost of GH¢3.6 million caused so much uproar that the Chief of Staff stepped in to order a review of the contract.

The contract sum after the review was slashed and the contractors asked to refund the excess charge.
