Former President John Mahama ordered the supply of 43 specialised vehicles worth more than $9m barely eight days to the handing over of power, documents sighted by Joy News has revealed.
The document signed by former Deputy National Security Coordinator, Alhaji Salifu Osman giving approval for the use of the vehicle by the President, Vice-President, First Lady and others. The cars are capable of firing rounds of ammunition and are designed to withstand the effects of a hand grenade.
All four sides of the passenger compartment and the roof of the vehicle are protected using high-quality armour steel and glass defeating a NATO ball ammunition, the supplier Shell Speciality Vehicles described the vehicle.
In a letter addressed to Executive Director of local company Amalgamated Security Services Ltd Mr. O.K Tweneboah-Kodua, National Security granted the company approval to 'import and clear' the said vehicles.
The letter dated 30, December 2016 contained an expectation that the vehicles are to arrive within 40 days.
Joy News can confirm, although the vehicles are ready to be delivered, the fleet are stuck in Dubai.
The Akufo Addo government has placed an indefinite moratorium on the purchase of new vehicles for the running of the presidency and ministries of state but that decision could potentially result in the payment of judgment debt.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR LEADERS?
woow, i love this cars. this is really a car for presidents but in fact if i get money i will buy the same thing. If the govt dont like pls send it to me or keep it for ur predecessors to use.
GHANAIANS AND OUR QUICK WAYS OF JUDGEMENT, CAN SOME ONE CALM DOWN ISSUES AND FIND OUT THE REASONS WHY THESE FLEETS WERE ORDERED. WHETHER FOR THE OUT-GOING OR IN-COMING GOVERNMENT , THEY ARE STILL ASSETS FOR GHANA, CAN NANA ADDO AND NPP DO AWAY WITH POLITICS AND GO FOR THE CARS. PAINTING YOUR OPPONENT BLACK WILL NOT FOREVER KEEP NPP IN POWER. LET SEE SOME SMALL GOOD ABOUT NDC AND MOVE ON AS A COUNTRY
gibberish utter gibberish
MY HEART BLEEDS ANYTIME THESE STORIES CROP UP.WHY ON EARTH COULD AN OUTGOING PRESIDENT DO THAT.? I WOULD LIKE ASIEDU NKETIAH AND KOKU ANYIDOHO TO EXPLAIN THESE. GOD IS WATCHING OUR LEADERS.NO WONDER WE ARE TWO HUNDRED YEARS BEHIND THE EUROPEANS.
They should spare us this nosssssennnnnse. they don't want Ghanaians to blame Akuffo Addo on captains mahama's death, now that the truth is coming out directing attention on former president mahama . stupiddddddd government. Am annoyed, taking Ghanaians for a foooooooool
I CAN'T THINK ***barred word*** ! WHAT ???
I AM NOT SURE THIS CORRUPT FORMER PRESIDENT WAS BUYING THE VEHICLE FOR THE NATION, BUT HIS GIRL FRIENDS.HOW CAN YOU USE TAX PAYERS MONEY TO BUY THIS LUXURY CARS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES TO USE,WHY MOST OF THE TAX PAYERS ARE NOT EVEN HAVING WATER TO DRINK AND PLACE TO SLEEP. GHANAIAN'S HAS DONE A GOOD JOB TO DROVE HIM AND HIS CORRUPT APPOINTEES OUT. WE ARE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM TO COME IN POWER AGAIN , BECAUSE HE IS CORRUPT. ASIEDU NKETIA AND HIS PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO BRING HIM AGAIN BUT WE GHANAIAN'S WILL SHOW THEM SENSE. WE DO NOT WANT ANY CREATE LOOT AND SHARE GOVERNMENT AGAIN,ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
So what was the Former President in charge of? Was he really a manager at all? Wow! Now he is commenting on everything like a boy - trying to stay relevant. You couldn't do anything on the pitch, having been now substituted, he's telling those on the pitch how to do what he had opportunity but failed to do. He is the worse president ever! Forty what amour cars? I pray it's not true.
i remembered very well (and i hope i was not dreaming) that the boy with those dog-like teeth said he has information that the new govt was buying new vehicles and that Nana's ban on new vehicles purchase was just to blind the public. I said to myself whenever these cr1m1nals say they have an information it means they are involved. they did that to create another judgement so that they will share. i have never doubted the ***barred word***.1ty of the ndc but what marvels me is the intensity of that sup1d..1ty. I cant believe ple can be that stu.p1d.
