Ministers of state and their deputies will from 2018 start using saloon vehicles [Camrys and Corollas] instead of Toyota Landcruiser V8s as part of a cost-cutting measure to be introduced by the Akufo-Addo administration, Mr Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has said.
“I hear so much talk about V8 this month and I am a little confused....I am also aware that the Finance Minister is in fact planning to buy Toyota Camry, Corolla and the like for Ministers and their deputies, etc. from 2018 onwards. So why all of a sudden all the talk as if there is rather a surge in V8 numbers procured for Govt officials? The irony of social media campaigns, sometimes," Mr Otchere-Darko posted on Facebook on Monday.

I hear so much talk about V8 this month and I am a little confused. What I do know is that the Minister of Finance has stubbornly refused to buy the usual Toyota Landcruiser V8 or what-have-you for ministers since the change in Govt.
Even the vehicles that were ordered by the previous Govt have had to be audited and stalled and audited with little appetite for them except that the contract may have to be honoured even after some necessary adjustments.
I am also aware that the Finance Minister is in fact planning to buy Toyota Camry, Corolla and the like for Ministers and their deputies, etc. from 2018 onwards. So why all of a sudden all the talk as if there is rather a surge in V8 numbers procured for Govt officials? The irony of social media campaigns, sometimes.
