'Ex-government used illegal means to rip-off resources'

The New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stated that the erstwhile NDC government engaged in blatant illegalities to rip of Ghana's scare resources.

Reacting to the Greenstreet Committee's statement that it did not recommend the sale of vehicles to ex-Ministers of State, MPs and other government appointees, Mr Kwadwo Afari, a member of the Publicity Committee of the party, said all those involved in the alleged "looting" of the vehicles should return them or pay the difference in accordance with the President's directive.

"During their reign for almost two decades, the NDC made all illegalities legal and paid to themselves huge sums of money from 1992 through 1996 and the year 2000," he said.
