Journalists With State Cars in Trouble

Panic is said to have hit some top journalists in the country who are apparently keeping and using state cars illegally, as there are indications they would soon be named, shamed and prosecuted.

The Director in charge of Transport and Logistics at the Flagstaff House, Odeneho Nana Oppong, has hinted that the Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, would be provided with the names of the journalists with state cars.

According to him, they would be prosecuted for illegally taking state vehicles through crooked means.

“We have all the names of the journalists that benefitted from the purchase of state cars through suspicious means when the NDC government was about to leave political office”, he stated on radio in Kumasi.

Speaking with King Edward of Hello FM, he bemoaned that there was shortage of cars at the presidency because most of the cars that the NDC left behind on paper at the presidency could not be accounted for.

He disclosed that some presidential staffers are currently without official vehicles so they either walk or try to find their own means of transport to work and assured his office would feed the Special Prosecutor with evidence-based information towards the retrieval of the ‘stolen’ state cars.
