If previous presidents have done this it will not happen now. If other government, as they continue sending electricity to villages taught about where the power supply is coming from dumsor will not peak at Mahamas era. Ghanaians have to think beyond political affiliations.

What is the imprtance of President sharing Cars to Organisations at this point in time when our Economy is in Shambles? Mahama is really a Joker.Every year all Ministries and Agencies under Governments budget for their needs including Vehicles which go to them directly. Recently we saw about 300 Pick Up ordered by the Ministry. Why did the President not present those Vehicles to them if that is part of his Job Description? Because we are in Election year he has now suddenly become Vehicle Distributer to deceive people that he is working Shame Shame Shaaaame.

Why politicize these? These are essential needs of the Security Services and should be met as a matter of routine budgetary allocation

So what happen to your buy Made In Ghana products campaign? Was that campaign gimmick or just making noise to deceive Ghanaians that you care for local businesses?Folks as far as president Mahama is consent he hate Apostle to the core because Apostle is not a northerner that is why he refuse to buy Apostle cars for ministries and also Ghanaians will get to know the corruption president John Dramani Mahama perpetuate in buying those cars.We were not even told the cost of the cars.Folks coming November let vote for Nana Addo to come and support local manufactures and inventors to create jobs and to lead Africa in technology.President John Dramani Mahama has shown that he done not want any businesses to succeed expect his brother company.He is evil and enemy of our development and achievement.

This practice of the president making presentations of items to governmental agencies should be discontinued. You only find this sort of practice in third world countries where this sort of practice continues the Big Man syndrome. Can't these agencies acquire those vehicles under their budget? Why does it take the president to do this. Funds for these purchases neither come from the president's personal accounts nor his office.

Some of these gestures needs to be carried out by the president to demonstrate that he is fulfilling his promise of equipping the security services. Otherwise the opposition NPP would jump on radios and accuse him of "empty promises". Any ruling party worth its sort must blow its horn. Even if the cars were to be purchased by normal budgetary allocations, the Govt in power can still claim credit, because it made it possible.

Hmmm, I thought the President promised buying Kantanka vehicles for state department and the security agency? No wonder he wants EU to solve Ghana's rising unemployment rate.

Well done, Mr. President, but quickly a few observations:

1) If the funds used to buy these vehicles and motorbikes were NOT BORROWED (with interest), but with locally generated funds, then I say HURRAY!!

2) Why wasn't the Police Service, which provides daily and nightly services, protecting people and property NOT included in the first phase of recipients? See, a second phase may take YEARS to come and worse, NEVER!!

3) Would there be strict assurances that these vehicles & motorbikes wouldn't be high-jacked or stolen or taken by some unscrupulous individuals as their own properties, when the NDC is no longer in office or at any other given time?

4) Lastly, wouldn’t these vehicles be used by the NDC for the 2-016 political campaign—at the expense of the other competing parties?

In the US, not even a mayor will present cars to security let alone the Governor (equivalent of a president). No wonder Mahama has been opening toilets. A minister could have done this simple work.
