The brouhaha surrounding the supposedly 200 missing cars from the Flagstaff house appears an endless one as one of the listed beneficiaries of state vehicles allegedly sold for ‘peanuts’ in 2008 has lashed out at the NDC for circulating ‘half-baked truths’.
A list revealing 70 former government appointees who bought state vehicles prior to the exit of erstwhile Kufuor administration on January 7 2009 circulated on social media on Monday.
Former Minister of Manpower Youth and Employment Nana Akomea who was listed as one such person has been accused of buying a state vehicle for GH¢800 in 2008, after the NPP lost power.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Nana Akomea explained that contrary to what reports depict, the actual value of the vehicle was $800; equivalent to GHC800 at the time.
He found it strange that the very same valuations presented by the State Transport Corporation (STC) in 2000 and 2016 on State vehicles bought by the NDC were accepted as value for money but rejected in 2008.
The topic of missing 200 state vehicles began when Eugene Arhin, Director of Communications at the Presidency, disclosed to Ghanaians that over Two Hundred (200) state vehicles had disappeared from the fleet of cars at the Presidency.
The vehicles given to the officials of the past NDC government for official use were meant to be returned after their exit from office.
But in a statement on Thursday, the NDC refuted those claims and described Mr. Arhin’s claims as “false, baseless and without merit”, adding that they represented a continuation of the “distortions and bad faith that have characterised the conduct of the NPP side of the Transition team.”
Nana Akomea has hinted that the list of 200 state vehicles that were bought by government appointees will be released soon and the truth exposed.

AT THE TIME THE DOLLAR AND CEDI WERE ABOUT THE SAME VALUE SO YOU ARE SAYING NOTHING. WHY DID YOU NOT TELL US ABOUT THE CAR MAKE AND YEAR TO SEE WHETHER IT IS REASONABLE TO BUY IT FOR 800 DOLLARS? YOU. BETTER KEEP QUIET IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING SENSIBLE TO TELL GHANAIANS. PERIOD.
AAH AKOMEA U BOUGHT A CAR IN GHANA AT 800DOLLARS AND YOU THINK THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT? YOU GUYS ARE ALL ***barred word***. WHICH CAR IN GHANA IS SOLD AT 800$. I NEED 15 CARS THEN. I WILL PAY CASH. NSEM HUNU.
Akomea s never a serious person. Who does he think he s deciving?.We r grown enough to understand issues. ***barred word*** individual. full of deciet.
LET US NOT COVER THE SHAME OF NDC BY NANA AKOMEA,S EXPLANATION . NANA AKOMEA USED A SALOON CAR FOR 9YEARS AND BOUGHT AT 8DOLLERS THEN , BUT HEAR WE ARE NDC PEOPLE BOUGHT V8 VEHICLES THAT WERE REGISTERED IN 2016 AS LOW AS SCRAPS WHY? THIS EVIL MINDED.
Why are ghanaian politicians so selfish and wicked. How can you buy a state vehicle (4X4 i believe) for GHC 800. Why is it a condemned or over-aged vehicle?? Why are you guys so wicked! Sinec you guys are paid tens of thousands of ghana cedis, why cant you go to Toyota Ghana, CFAO, Japan Motors, Silver star etc to purchase your own cars so that these used cars can be maybe given to teachers and the doctors/nurses who are struggling in the villages with no means of transport to help safe lives. Even Tigo or kia picanto would not be sold for GHC 800. mmttcheww!!!
In 2009, when NPP was leaving power, one ghana cedi was stronger/higher than one dollar. It means that Nana Akomea paid less than Eight hundred Ghana cedis (GHC800.00)
Mr Angel Akomea, please ***barred word***. If it was NDC person you would be jumping from radio stations. It is highly unethical to have bought that vehicle so cheap but point figures at others. Remember when you live in a glass house you don't throw stones at others..What I am beginning to find interesting is that when it is some of you it is alright but others you will keep screaming For example when JM wanted to use Heritage fund to support infrastructure development just as Norway and UAE did, you and your cohorts were against it vehemently. Now we hear senior Minister wants to use that for free SHS. The principle is not wrong after all both infrastructure and free education is a national heritage but "what is good for the gander is good for the geese". Etua wo nua na etua wo.. Mon hwe yi3 na enyewa pee re hw3 mo Though nothing wrong, H. E Prezo appoints his Nigerian ex sister in law as his Executive Assistant, A nigerian Saratu Atta younger sister of his ex wife Remi and there is nothing wrong. Mahama should have tried that and you would have seen Akomea alias Oloje and NPP friends rise up. Saying he is exposing the seat of government to foreigners. Shame on you onua.. Where is Prof. Ahuofe Okoampa.. Please comment on this wai
Akomea this one de3 you didnt do well. Lets call a spade a spade. You should have kept quite that could have saved your image more than stooping so low with this statement of $800 = Ghc 800. It doesnt work anywhere

WRONG then & wrong now even if you paid $10000. Is called selfishness & greed. Let the poor teacher buy it & you the politician walk to toyota or whatever dealership & purchase it since you have access to loans. Just zip it. Enough of POLITICIANS abusing their offices.You all have damaged GHANA enough! Part of the struggling folks are going through.
