There has been a lot of discussion and public curiosity in a fancy car that was recently seen at the University of Professional Studies (UPSA) during President John Dramani Mahama's Thanksgiving celebration.
President John Mahama is said to be the owner of the Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 Xtreme Edition, raising concerns about how he obtained the expensive vehicles.
The Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 Xtreme Edition is a high-end vehicle featuring sophisticated terrain control systems, a 3.3L V6 Turbo Diesel Engine, and bulletproof features.
With a startling $600,000 price tag—more than GHC8 million—many people are curious as to how President Mahama was able to afford such a costly car.
Although some have questioned if President Mahama bought the car with state money, others close to the president have stressed that it is, in fact, his own property, having been purchased before to the December elections.
The scandal involving President Mahama's expensive vehicle has brought attention to the necessity of openness and communication from public servants.
Many have demanded that the Office of the President issue a formal statement outlining the specifics of the car's purchase.
President Mahama has previously been connected to high-end automobiles.
The previous Mahama administration bought 34 expensive cars, including 10 bulletproof vehicles, which the government received in 2017.
