WHAT THE HECK IS THIS SPRAYING AND RE-BRANDING OF METRO BUSES ABOUT? The NDC(Notorious Demented Criminals) 2016 campaign propaganda team diabolically cooked up this idea of using 116 public buses as cheap mobile billboards for Mahama's pictures. What is the significance of this so called branding of buses? It is about no buses but Mahama!!! These shameless morons are taking us - Ghanaians for a ride. They are stealing and using our tax money to fund their campaign with impunity. It is time for us to tell them, enough is enough. They spaces could profitably be rented to some commercial entities to earn revenue for the Metro Transit Administration. This is what is done in all civilized countries. All the pictures should be removed immediately from the buses befor the government is forced to do so in court.

News about Dzifa Attivors thievery has gone international. Read about how the international media reported it and the global comments that followed.

Accra (AFP) - Ghana's transport minister resigned Wednesday after a controversy erupted following reports she spent about one million dollars to repaint over 100 buses with portraits of the country's recent leaders.

Dzifa Attivor had commissioned a private firm to respray 116 imported passenger busses with the faces of the West African country's past leaders and current president John Mahama.

But the seemingly innocuous branding exercise became a rallying point for the opposition party and anti-corruption campaigners, who used the issue to criticise the ruling party's economic management of the country.

Attivor's resignation is the first in many years for Ghana and comes after citizens filed a court action against the government demanding details of the bus contract.

The contract "did not ensure value for money," said Ghana's government after reviewing the bus painting deal and called for a reimbursement of some of the money.

Ghana's economic growth has stalled in the face of tanking commodity prices, with the ruling party coming under fire for wasteful spending in the run up to presidential and parliamentary elections next year.

Earlier this week, President Mahama banned first class travel for public officials, warning them to avoid "unwarranted" trips.

The country was forced to look to the IMF for emergency loans to help bolster its ailing economy, struggling to change its fortunes amid a power crisis.

As part of the agreement with the IMF, Ghana's authorities pledged to rein in spending.

Corruption in Ghana and Africa is part of life and understood by many Ghanaians and Africans as normal. This is tip of the iceberg, if you have to dig through people in government civil servants and law enforcement agencies, you might have to put all of them in jail. I remember I was in Ghana in 2009 driving unlicensed car in the night, I was able to bribe my way out with three can tunas after I was pull over by the Police. Everyone wants you to pay bribe to get things done. So sad it's happening

Another example of an incompetent bureaucrat wasting the taxpayers' money. How did she get in her position in the first place?

Spent such fund in painting a bus? just to curry favor or intimidate our thoughts.Ghanaian need explanation.

THE RESIDENTS AT THOSE VILLAGES AREADISED TOO TO SEEK THE HIGH COURT TO CLOSE THE QUARRIES THAT HAVE BEEN PERNITTED BY THE CRIMINAL GANG AT THE MINERAL COMMISION TO OPERATE IN THE AREA.

IT SOUNDS VERY STUPID FOR THE OWNERS OF THE QUARRIES TO BLAST IN AN AREA THAT IS DENSELY POPULATED.

WHAT KIND OF MACHINES DID THOSE CORRUPT THIEVES AT MINERAL COMMMISION USE TO DETERMINE THE DYNAMITE HLAST.

THEY SHOUD HAVE TESTED AND EXAMINED THAT AT THE VILLAGES BEFORE ISSUING THEPERMISSION TO THOSE GREEDY BUSINESSMEN WITH NO HUMAN RESPECT,

ARE WE STILL NOT HOPELESS AND USELESS PEOPLE WITHOUT BRAINS IN THE 21st CENTURY,
